Unlike yearly shipment numbers, it is a longer-term indicator of platform choice and device lifespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Apple near 25%, Samsung in second<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Counterpoint, about one in four active smartphones in 2025 was an iPhone, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.planhub.ca\/brands\/samsung\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.planhub.ca\/brands\/samsung\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Samsung<\/a> sits at roughly one-fifth.
