The number of Android smartphone users in the United States reached 129.1 million in 2020, and this figure is forecast to reach more than 130 million in 2021.
The rise of the Android robot
One reason for the growth of Android – developed by Google – is its open-source platform that allows mobile phone manufacturers to use and adapt the operating system for their own devices. Samsung, who run their own customized version of the Android operating system, is the leading manufacturer for Android smartphones in the United States..
Is Android’s success affecting iOS?
The increase in Android smartphone users in the United States is a part of growth in the overall market, and does not come at the expense of nearest rival, the Apple iPhone. The number of iPhone users in the United States is also increasing year-on-year. Google Android and Apple iOS are together conquering all other competitors in the United States’ mobile operating systems market holding a joint share of 99 percent.
