Amazon Owns the Smart Speaker Space

Amazon's vague stats aren't the only indicator of its dominance this holiday season. According to app downloads, Amazon beat out its rivals over the holidays. As of writing, the Amazon Alexa app was the most popular app on both iOS and Android's Google Play. On Android, the Google Home app did make its way to second place--so it would look like the Google Home was a popular gift, too. But on iOS, Google's companion app didn't even crack the top 10 most popular apps.
