The top line of the chart shows Apple’s U.S. market share over the last 12 months. The middle line represents Samsung’s market share in the country, while the third line shows us the Pixel’s U.S. share for the last year.

So Pixel’s U.S. market share rises at the same time that the iPhone’s U.S. share starts to decline. One could reach the conclusion that the strength in Pixel demand was responsible for the weakness in the demand for the iPhone in the U.S. from September through October.
The statcounter graph includes the U.S. market share of one other phone manufacturer, Samsung. While the iPhone lost market share in the U.S. during September and October, and the Pixel’s market share rose during those two months, Samsung has held a pretty stable slice of the U.S. smartphone pie ever since the beginning of this year. Even during September and October, when the Pixel 9 was adding market share and the iPhone was losing share, Samsung’s share stayed remarkably consistent.
