People, in general, take being critical as someone who hates a thing or is against them. It seems to be a worldly phenomenon not related to any specific country. It's just Reddit it's much easier to see it in action.

You can read a chart many ways but what you're communicating may not be relevant to the discussion.

It depends on what you're planning on applying that information with. If you're looking to invest money - then the article's point of view is considerably more important than who is, overall, at the time.

If you bothered to read the article you'd see your point was mentioned:

> Samsung defended its first place in the market despite an 8% decline

However if the context is iOS versus Android then it's very clear Android is absolutely wrecking iOS. In this case there are many things one can infer from this. So, for example, is you were writing software and wanted to reach as many people as possible - Android is a very clear winner.

However if IAP's and income are your point then it's more likely iOS is your preferred path due to more frivolous spending (not indicated in the chart or app).

However, unrelated to much else, this line should be telling:

> The popularity of the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, in particular, will contribute to a higher ASP and stable revenue for Apple.

I view this as a knock on Apple implying the iPhone 14 was a dud. Personally, and I have nothing to back this up, I suspect the normal folks are waiting for USB-C next year to upgrade as well as the fact that the iPhone 14 isn't a large upgrade over even the 11. I think that's what held back the regular version. The Pro's and up usually have significantly more expendable income.

But it seems most people all over only care about "winning" or "the other guy losing". It's quite disheartening to see such communities so insecure.
