So Apple had 100% of almost non existing market last year and now Android has already 27% of it, we seen this movie before...
By the end of next year Android will take the lead, just like it did with smartphone.

We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
