A quick google search actually reveals Apple has 53% of the market in the U.S. [1]

Also, to even compare that Android phones are 'cheaper' is rather bold, there's Samsung flip phones selling for $2000.

US =/= World. And I said 50$ to anything, i never called them cheap.
You insinuated it by alluding to Kia vs. Rolls Royce, which is curious as Apple products are not luxury items, save perhaps the gold "watch edition" iWatch.
Kia has cheap to expensive cars and Rolls Royce has exclusively expensive cars. May be Rolls Royce was a stretch. But I definitely clarified it in that comment itself by saying 50-Anything. Apple may or may not be called luxury items. But they’re viewed as premium items by general public around the world. People look towards iPhone in awe than a samsung galaxy s21 ultra.
