A couple of weeks ago an article in Business Insider stated that Apple’s iOS was losing market share in Europe's four largest markets (Great Britain, France, Italy, and Spain) as well as Japan. I hadn't checked the global mobile market in a while, and checking the StatCounter stats today shows that Android is clearly dominant on a global scale. It's true Android has some issues, including its well-known fragmentation, but I still prefer the flexibility of this OS over iOS.
