Android is the leading operating system in pretty much every country by a large margin, but in the United States, the difference between Android and iOS is much smaller. Even so, Android still remains king even in the United States, with its market share rising to 53.2% in January from 52.3% in October. iOS, on the other hand, fell from 41.9% to 41.3% while Windows Phone had a negligible increase.
