Depends on which month and whose numbers. As for the US, the last figures I've seen for year to date 2020 were 51.2% Android and 48.2% iOS. Which doesn't leave much for anyone else. This is the smartphone market numbers that I found.
OTOH, if you start including tablets, iPads had 73% of the tablet market in Sept, 2019 and still held 59% in Sept., 2020. Android held 27% in Sept. 2019 and now held 40.8% in Sept. 2020. The remaining 1% if where you find Windows, Linux, etc.
What I find most humourous is that at one point, the most popular publisher in Apple's App Store was Google while Facebook was the most popular publisher in Google's PlayStore.
OTOH, if you are into money, it appears a rather large chunk of the Android phone market is engaged in a death march to the lowest possible price. This may explain why many low end Android phone manufacturers have the lifespan of a mayfly. By comparison, Apple captures about 31% of the smart phone revenue and about 65% of the profit (add in Huawei (13%) and Samsung (17%) profit shares and there ain't much profit left for other manufacturers to divide).
Those numbers will change as the move to 5G and higher end Android phones continues.
