Apple doesn't break the 30%-mark in any of these markets. Here are the stats on share of sales:
- Germany - Android 81%, iOS 11%.
- U.K. - Android 61%, iOS 29%, Windows Phone 10%.
- France - Android 71%, iOS 15%, Windows Phone 11%.
- Italy - Android 76%, iOS 12%, Windows Phone 10%.
- Spain - Android 84%, Windows Phone 8%, iOS 7%.
This is based on Kantar consumer data that tracks smartphone sales over 12-week periods. So 81% market share in Germany means that eight out of ten consumers there are choosing Android over Apple devices. Below are the charts.
Interestingly, Microsoft's Windows Phone is seeing a resurgence in several of these markets, carving out 10% or greater sales share in France, Italy, and the U.K. It has even jumped ahead of Apple in Spain.
