However, there are geographic patterns in popularity, with Apple dominating North America and East Asia, while Samsung leads in South America, Europe, Africa and West Asia in addition to its home turf of South Korea. Xiaomi is the most popular phone brand across South Asia, Spain, Venezuela, Ukraine, Madagascar, Kyrgyzstan and Palestine, while Tecno is popular in West and Central Africa.

Apple domintaing in … Europe

Even your map doesn't support this claim.

Belarus is marked as a country where Apple dominates, even though this is not true: Redmi (Xiaomi) and Samsung phones are more popular there (link)

And it seems like the situation in Russia is similar: Apple is the 4th most popular brand (2023, link).

I'm using data from StatCounter, as mentioned in the figure. See Belarus and Russia. They could be wrong; their figures are based on website hits.
