Although Android decreased in the US, Google Pixel recorded 1.3% of sales in the three months ending November 2016, with more than half of that business done through Verizon.

"Both Android and iOS increased their presence across France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Great Britain, "largely due to the decline of Windows," the Kantar report said.

Apple reportedly shipped 207 million iPhones in 2016, down from 236 million in 2015. 

In urban China, iOS was down year-on-year at 19.9%, but continued strong period-on-period growth with sales from iPhone 7.

"In China, iOS fell to 19.9% of smartphone sales, down 5.4% from the same period in 2015. About 80%of all smartphones sold in China in the three-month period ending November were running Android," the report said.
