I would’ve been highly surprised if Samsung and Apple were head-to-head in the USA.

Even at those numbers I wouldn't consider it market dominance. Barely being the leader.
It seems we have very differing definitions of "barely".

Apple has more than double the market share that Samsung does.

The EU considers any party that has more than 40% of market share to be in a dominant market position.

This isn't directly relatable to the USA, of course, but it shows that its far from "clear cut".

Except Samsung isn't the only Android provider and it's not one maker vs the other, it's Android vs iOS.
