        I live in Belgium. I think I count on 2 hands how many people I have seen with an iPhone, and I have a quite young workplace.

        Surprising that apple is top. Literally every public place where you are where a phone rings or an alarm goes off, there is a 90% chance it is the default Samsung tone/alarm and almost everyone in the room immediately checks if it was theirs lol.

          It could just be small sample size giving a wrong result. These are based on website hits, not official sales figures.

        I meant Belgium, as it’s the only iPhone country between 3 Samsung countries.

        Seems like Luxembourg is no data?

          I didn’t compare the shades of grey, I just assumed that Luxembourg is the only “other brands” country in Europe.
