>They won on MP3 players.

Sure I guess if you're still living in 2010. Nobody uses an "mp3 player" anymore. Get with the times grampa. Everyone has a cellphone that plays MP3s today.

> They won on music stores.

Spotify is at 36% market share compared to Apple's 30% of the music streaming market.

>They won on mobile.

And Apple did not "win on mobile" - only in the US are they popular, but globally Android has 72% market share. Apple lost the mobile market to Android a long time ago.

>They won on laptops.

No, Apple did not "win on laptops", they are still at about 9% market share.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_share_of_personal_compu...

"As of the third quarter of 2020, HP was cited as the leading vendor for notebook computers closely followed by Lenovo, both with a share of 23.6% each. They were followed by Dell (13.7%), Apple (9.7%) and Acer (7.9%)."

Nothing has really changed since 2020. Apple will always be a tiny portion of the personal computer and laptop market.

>They won on headphones.

huh? There are far better headphones than anything Apple makes. Are you talking about earbuds? There's a difference.

No, Apple has not "won" on anything but having overpriced hardware. $3600 for a VR headset? Yeah, I guess they "won" most ridiculously overpriced hardware ever.
