I guess a quarter of the smartphone market (leader), half of the tablet market (leader) and a tenth of the global pc market (2nd place) / 6th of the usa/europe market (2nd place) being a small market share is a take.
Os x has a 10% market share, which is 2nd after Windows, but i agree on that one i conflated terms. I couldn’t quickly find device manufacturers stats. If wiki is to be trusted - apple is 4th, with share not far behind dell [1].
If half doesn’t make you leader what does? Maybe you should elaborate your definition of leader? For me it’s “has the highest market share”. And in that definition half is necessarily true.
It’s funny that for PC’s you went for manufacturers (apple is 4th) but for mobile you went for OS (Apple is 2nd). On mobile devices, Apple is 1st, having double market share compared to 2nd place (samsung).
The need to paint Apple as purely a marketing company always fascinated me. Marketing is a big part of who they are though.

Android is by far the leader.
>half of the tablet market (leader)
Half does not make someone a "leader"
>a tenth of the global pc market (2nd place)
2nd place?? They're last place, by a wide margin.
>6th of the usa/europe market (2nd place)
Also last place.
I guess the reality distortion field is still alive and well.
