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) besides Japan. I haven't checked the mobile global 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 well-known fragmentation, but I still prefer the flexibility of this OS over the iOS one.
