Android is struggling to keep its market share in the United States, as Apple continues to take over in the market. But, despite Android as a whole losing ground, Google Pixel phones are becoming a bigger slice of the US market.
Counterpoint Research reports that, in Q2 2023, US smartphone shipments dropped by 24% year-over-year. That includes both iPhones and Android phones, and virtually every brand saw a drop in shipments. Samsung saw US shipments drop by 37% while Motorola saw a 17% drop. TCL saw the biggest decline at just shy of 70% year-over-year, and even Apple saw a 6% drop.

Okay your post was pretty good until you went off on the China rant at the end. Chinese phones like Huawei, ZTE and Xiaomi have far worse quality control issues than something like the Google Pixel has.
Not to mention empower a hostile foreign power. We shouldn't be sending tons of money to China. We definitely shouldn't be sending tons of money to China so that they can send us technology which they could remotely brick or watch on large swaths of the population.
I'm not advocating for Chinese phones in particular, but there are no other alternatives as far as I know. Samsung & Google seems to be stagnating and the only valid alternative is just Apple for us.
