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.

I've used https://shop.fairphone.com/ for a while now, a bit less slick and more expensive, but I'm very satisfied. I already degoogled completely, can't have a Google phone now :D

    What does Fairphone offer for the car infortainment interface, or are you stuck without one?

    Lmao, god I'm so jealous of Europe sometimes. I have to assume you don't live in the US.

    There are some places here you can get away with not having one, but its basically a non-option for the vast majority of the US

    I mean, Fairphone runs Android. So the same Android Auto that a Google Pixel would have
