Some interesting facts here, but it's very hard to pry them from this infographic, which strikes me as horribly designed.

The phone background is gratuitous and unnecessary. The cluster of manufacturers and the products they make in the center of the infographic is so cluttered that I can't connect one side (the manufacturer) to the other (the component they provide). Presumably, the amount of area each slice occupies correlates with total share, but the lack of vertical space means the corners of these areas are diagonal in many cases, making it even harder to visually grasp.

I think Tufte would probably call this chartjunk.
