So insignificant that it's one of the most valuable companies in the world on the back of those two product categories. By the way they are on top where it matters – profit and customer satisfaction.

I am not exactly sure what the market share is for iPhones, but Android is much larger. For computers, they are a tiny portion. If they cracked 10 percent I would be shocked. That is awesome they are profitable. But yes they do have an insignificant user base for computers. A reasonable but nowhere near dominating position for phones. Apple is always going to be a relatively small player regardless of market cap in the tech world. The last couple decades have proven that

Apple’s genius is focusing on profit share over market share. They make a minority of phones but capture the majority of the industry’s profits. That lets them expend more in R&D, more on top people, et cetera.

Apple is absolutely dominating phones. When the competition is copying your design choices unnecessarily, you are essentially dominating the market.

That Android has dominated the $50-150 smartphone market is pretty meaningless. Those customers don't have much business value.

Having 19 percent of the smartphone market isn't dominating. The Samsung s8 and pixel 2 xl pretty much beat the iPhone x on most features at a lower price point. Higher ppi, battery size. And I think it doesn't even have USB c.
