Android.
the graph says desktop operating systems so maybe it is a Linux. no idea why iOS appears in it.
Well iOS only shows up on the graph right at the end, in 2025. You'll note that it correlates perfectly with a large drop in MacOS. This must be people using an iOS browser on their Mac, this is possible if you're mac has Apple silicon. I don't know why people would do that, but that's what it looks like.
actually it's probably just some uncategorised version of windows, looking at the matches in dips of windows
Why would it in desktop segment
Same reason as iOS.
Android uses the linux kernel and should be counted under linux if android is not specified
