We looked at 2019 data to see how the Android v iOS battlefield has developed over the last few years. Android had a great start to 2019, and now enjoys around 90% OS share in Egypt, India and Indonesia. Read on for more stats from across the globe.

Our latest dive into Android v iOS market share compares data from Q2 2019 with the previous year.

There were positive signs for iOS in Italy, Poland, Egypt, Norway and Turkey.

Naturally, Android benefits where iOS drops in share. Google's mobile OS enjoyed healthy uplifts in India, Indonesia, Ireland, Japan, Malaysia, France and South Korea.

In the UK, there's now just a 0.32% difference between the two mobile OS giants. In Canada, it's also tight with only 1.41% market share between them.

The following statistics are based on mobile web traffic from Q2 2019, to a global network of partner websites using the DeviceAtlas device detection platform.
