Apple dominates mobile phones and apps built on them.
Not really. At least not in my country (in Hungary). Most people use Android smartphones, and Android is made by Google. Apple products are overpriced, and many people financially cannot afford them. Android smartphones are affordable in general.
I just meant in general and as an example. But you are right Apple doesn't dominate all of the mobile phone space.

But they do make a majority of the mobile phone money :-)
It really is magical and so smart (and exploitative -- some would say).

What Google did with Android is similar to what IBM did with personal computers over 4 decades ago: Both made their specs open and available so that anyone could build products compatible with their standards. To a lesser degree, Microsoft allowed this with its version of Disk Operating System and BASIC programming tool. On the other hand, Apple kept everything proprietary.
