Apple’s iPhone market share takes a hit
Apple’s iPhone market share has taken a recent hit in the smartphone world new data shows. Could it be the rise in Android powered handsets? Or is it because businesses took the iPhone on for a period of time, and then switched back to Blackberry?
The data recently compiled by ABI research, via the Wall Street Journal, clams that this quarter iPhone sales have been up just 16.6% < down from 18.1% since last quarter.
The overall smartphone market grew 26 per cent in the fourth quarter, according to ABI, with thanks to strong sales of Google’s Android mobile operating system with manufacturers adopting it and Nokia increasing sales by 4.6 million.
Nokia’s market share, of 37.7%, is slipping fast. And the new leader (if Nokia fails to come up with a good product) could be HTC, Apple, Samsung, Motorola or Palm. This market share is anyones for the taking.
