This dataset offers a comprehensive overview of the iPhone's journey in the global smartphone market from 2010 to 2024 . It includes:

📊 Number of iPhone Users: Total users worldwide and within the USA. 📈 Sales Figures: Yearly iPhone sales data. 🏆 Market Share: Comparison of iOS and Android market shares across years. This dataset is perfect for:

Market forecasting and trend analysis. Competitive landscape studies between iOS and Android. Consumer behavior research in the tech industry. Whether you're a data scientist, market analyst, or tech enthusiast, this dataset provides valuable insights to support your research and projects.

Android maintained its position as the leading mobile operating system worldwide in the first quarter of 2025 with a market share of about 71.88 percent. Android's closest rival, Apple's iOS, had a market share of approximately 27.65 percent during the same period. The leading mobile operating systems Both unveiled in 2007, Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS have evolved through incremental updates introducing new features and capabilities. The latest version of iOS, iOS 18, was released in September 2024, while the most recent Android iteration, Android 15, was made available in September 2023. A key difference between the two systems concerns hardware - iOS is only available on Apple devices, whereas Android ships with devices from a range of manufacturers such as Samsung, Google and OnePlus. In addition, Apple has had far greater success in bringing its users up to date. As of February 2024, 66 percent of iOS users had iOS 17 installed, while in the same month only 13 percent of Android users ran the latest version. The rise of the smartphone From around 2010, the touchscreen smartphone revolution had a major impact on sales of basic feature phones, as the sales of smartphones increased from 139 million units in 2008 to 1.39 billion units in 2023. In 2020, smartphone sales decreased to 1.38 billion units due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Apple, Samsung, and lately also Xiaomi, were the big winners in this shift towards smartphones, with BlackBerry and Nokia among those unable to capitalize.

This dataset has been artificially generated to mimic real-world user interactions within a mobile application. It contains 100,000 rows of data, each row of which represents a single event or action performed by a synthetic user. The dataset was designed to capture many of the attributes commonly tracked by app analytics platforms, such as device details, network information, user demographics, session data, and event-level interactions.

Key Features Included

User & Session Metadata

User ID: A unique integer identifier for each synthetic user. Session ID: Randomly generated session identifiers (e.g., S-123456), capturing the concept of user sessions. IP Address: Fake IP addresses generated via Faker to simulate different network origins. Timestamp: Randomized timestamps (within the last 30 days) indicating when each interaction occurred. Session Duration: An approximate measure (in seconds) of how long a user remained active. Device & Technical Details

Device OS & OS Version: Simulated operating systems (Android/iOS) with plausible version numbers. Device Model: Common phone models (e.g., “Samsung Galaxy S22,” “iPhone 14 Pro,” etc.). Screen Resolution: Typical screen resolutions found in smartphones (e.g., “1080x1920”). Network Type: Indicates whether the user was on Wi-Fi, 5G, 4G, or 3G. Location & Locale

Location Country & City: Random global locations generated using Faker. App Language: Represents the user’s app language setting (e.g., “en,” “es,” “fr,” etc.). User Properties

Battery Level: The phone’s battery level as a percentage (0–100). Memory Usage (MB): Approximate memory consumption at the time of the event. Subscription Status: Boolean flag indicating if the user is subscribed to a premium service. User Age: Random integer ranging from teenagers to seniors (13–80). Phone Number: Fake phone numbers generated via Faker. Push Enabled: Boolean flag indicating if the user has push notifications turned on. Event-Level Interactions

Event Type: The action taken by the user (e.g., “click,” “view,” “scroll,” “like,” “share,” etc.). Event Target: The UI element or screen component interacted with (e.g., “home_page_banner,” “search_bar,” “notification_popup”). Event Value: A numeric field indicating additional context for the event (e.g., intensity, count, rating). App Version: Simulated version identifier for the mobile application (e.g., “4.2.8”). Data Quality & “Noise” To better approximate real-world data, 1% of all fields have been intentionally “corrupted” or altered:

Typos and Misspellings: Random single-character edits, e.g., “Andro1d” instead of “Android.” Missing Values: Some cells might be blank (None) to reflect dropped or unrecorded data. Random String Injections: Occasional random alphanumeric strings inserted where they don’t belong. These intentional discrepancies can help data scientists practice data cleaning, outlier detection, and data wrangling techniques.

Usage & Applications

Data Cleaning & Preprocessing: Ideal for practicing how to handle missing values, inconsistent data, and noise in a realistic scenario. Analytics & Visualization: Demonstrate user interaction funnels, session durations, usage by device/OS, etc. Machine Learning & Modeling: Suitable for building classification or clustering models (e.g., user segmentation, event classification). Simulation for Feature Engineering: Experiment with deriving new features (e.g., session frequency, average battery drain, etc.).

Important Notes & Disclaimer

Synthetic Data: All entries (users, device info, IPs, phone numbers, etc.) are artificially generated and do not correspond to real individuals. Privacy & Compliance: Since no real personal data is present, there are no direct privacy concerns. However, always handle synthetic data ethically.
