From the CIRP mobile market share report, updated to reflect the quarter ending June 30th:
“Apple improved in part at Samsung’s expense, whose share of activiations declined relative to both last quarter and last year,” said Mike Levin, Partner and Co-Founder of CIRP. “In a quarter without any significant phone launches, Samsung had market share only equal to Apple’s. A year ago, Samsung had a considerably greater share of sales.”
Two interesting points from this report:
- Android has about 63% of all mobile phone activations and Apple about 36%.
- Apple made some nice gains this last quarter as Samsung’s share shrunk. Apple moved from 31% to 36% of all activations and Samsung dropped from 38% down to 36%.
Interesting charts. It’s clearly an iOS/Android world. Windows Phone never had a chance.
