The Biden administration said on Friday that it is ready to engage in negotiations with Iran and world powers to discuss the withdrawal of the 2015 nuclear deal. The decision is a setback to former President Donald Trump, as he was under full pressure to keep the Islamic Republic out of the deal. The administration took two steps at the United Nations with the aim of restoring the earlier policies overturned by Trump in 2018. At the same time, it is being told that this decision will increase concern in Israel and Gulf Arab states.

In addition to indicating a willingness to talk with Iran, the administration also overturned Trump’s decision, in which all U.N. against Iran. Sanctions were reinstated. And the administration also lashed out at the stringent restrictions on domestic travel of Iranian diplomats stationed at the United Nations.

In 2018, former US President Donald Trump separated the US from the 2015 nuclear deal, accusing Iran of violating the agreement. After this, many restrictions were imposed on Iran. The US alleged that Iran was violating the agreement and developing nuclear weapons. However, Iran denied it. After this, tensions between Iran and the US came to a peak.

The State Department announced the move after discussions between Foreign Minister Antony Blinken and his British, French and German counterparts, and it also prepared Biden to attend his first major international events with world leaders. The announcement came after Biden was scheduled to speak to leaders of a group of seven industrialized democracies a day later and address the annual Munich Security Conference later in the day. In both, Biden is expected to discuss his commitment to multilateral diplomacy and the subject of undoing losses.

International online casino Casino Days has published a report sharing their internal data on what types and brands of devices are used to play on the platform by users from the South Asian region.

Such aggregate data analyses allow the operator to optimise their website for the brands and models of devices people are actually using.

The insights gained through the research also help Casino Days tailor their services based on the better understanding of their clients and their needs.

Desktops and Tablets Lose the Battle vs Mobile

The primary data samples analysed by Casino Days reveal that mobile connections dominate the market in South Asia and are responsible for a whopping 96.6% of gaming sessions, while computers and tablets have negligible shares of 2.9% and 0.5% respectively.

The authors of the study point out that historically, playing online casino was exclusively done on computers, and attribute thе major shift to mobile that has unfolded over time to the wide spread of cheaper smartphones and mobile data plans in South Asia.

“Some of the reasons behind this massive difference in device type are affordability, technical advantages, as well as cheaper and more obtainable internet plans for mobiles than those for computers,” the researchers comment.

Xiaomi and Vivo Outperform Samsung, Apple Way Down in Rankings

Chinese brands Xiaomi and Vivo were used by 21.9% and 20.79% of Casino Days players from South Asia respectively, and together with the positioned in third place with a 18.1% share South Korean brand Samsung dominate the market among real money gamers in the region.

Cupertino, California-based Apple is way down in seventh with a user share of just 2.29%, overshadowed by Chinese brands Realme (11.43%), OPPO (11.23%), and OnePlus (4.07%).

Huawei is at the very bottom of the chart with a tiny share just below the single percent mark, trailing behind mobile devices by Motorola, Google, and Infinix.

The data on actual phone usage provided by Casino Days, even though limited to the gaming parts of the population of South Asia, paints a different picture from global statistics on smartphone shipments by vendors.

Apple and Samsung have been sharing the worldwide lead for over a decade, while current regional leader Xiaomi secured their third position globally just a couple of years ago.

Striking Android Dominance among South Asian Real Money Gaming Communities

The shifted market share patterns of the world’s top smartphone brands in South Asia observed by the Casino Days research paper reveal a striking dominance of Android devices at the expense of iOS-powered phones.

On the global level, Android enjoys a comfortable lead with a sizable 68.79% share which grows to nearly 79% when we look at the whole continent of Asia. The data on South Asian real money gaming communities suggests that Android’s dominance grows even higher and is north of the 90% mark.

Among the major factors behind these figures, the authors of the study point to the relative affordability of and greater availability of Android devices in the region, especially when manufactured locally in countries like India and Vietnam.

“And, with influencers and tech reviews putting emphasis on Android devices, the choice of mobile phone brand and OS becomes easy; Android has a much wider range of products and caters to the Asian online casino market in ways that Apple can’t due to technical limitations,” the researchers add.

The far better integration achieved by Google Pay compared to its counterpart Apple Pay has also played a crucial role in shaping the existing smartphone market trends.
