Android brands like Samsung, Motorola and TCL-Alcatel saw the steepest declines in shipments, while Apple’s shipments were more resilient. As a result, Apple’s share of shipments increased YoY.

Do any of these features actually exist on flagship models? Because those are the ones carried and pushed by mobile providers. People aren't buying phones in a vacuum; most people have limited options when getting a new phone because it's often not worth the hassle to switch providers just to get the exact model phone you want.

Sony phones used to be sold via carrier, it was making huge losses that is what stopped Sony from selling via carrier. Sony phones are still sold via carriers in Japan and even in their home market they are behind Apple, Google and Sharp for total shipment.
