I was thinking that this is mainly a US thing and then saw that the article talks about the US. Android is still more common in the rest of the world.

The article contradicts the unspecified headline in the first sentence: "It's no secret that Android is the most-used operating system in the world, a title it first earned after surpassing Windows in 2017."

Cute that you are including the US in the civilised world
