Statcounter, for operating systems (this includes tablets but excludes smartphones) has iPad going from 1.96% December 2012 to 2.59% July 2013. Android went from 0.54% Dec 2012 to .88% July 2013. Absolute increase in iPad is higher than Android ov…

IPhone will be on the largest carrier within a few years when SoftBank grows larger than Docomo if they don't get iPhone first. Docomo marketshare in Japan is steadily decreasing.

Statcounter shows iOS is growing in Japan relative to everyone else. Perhaps the fact that BCN ignores Apple Store iPhone sales is part of their problem in estimating market share.

In June 2011 IDC predicted 2012 tablet sales of 80 million so they were off 80% over the next 7 to 19 months. Accuracy is not apparently their strong suit.

The Yankee Group has the right idea - but is off by at least one year. iOS may even catch Android this year but definitely by the end of 1st quarter 2014. Averaging over a year - Android started later than iOS but grew rapidly past iOS and peake…

There is another way to look at the numbers. AT&T iPhone growth y/y 12%, non-iPhone growth - 0 Verizon iPhone growth y/y 25%, non-iPhone growth - 3% Sprint iPhone growth y/y 0, non-iPhone growth minus 3% (estimated).

Error in article - Sprint Q4 2012 was 2.2 MM iPhones out of 6.1 MM smartphones or 36%. This quarter was 1.5 MM iPhones out of 4.5 MM smartphones or 33%. For 2012 - iPhone was about 33%. Sprint is the only one of the 3 not to increase the percenta…

As a percentage - iPhone growth in the US is slowing. In absolute terms, iPhone growth in the US is rising - during 2012 - 16.7 million new users, during 2011 - 13.1 million new users. Android is different. During 2012 - 21 million new user, duri…

No clear signs that they are catching up. My 27 in iMac ordered 2/1/13 arrived yesterday. Shipped 3 weeks and 1 day after ordering. Site stated ships 3-4 weeks at that time. Still says shipped 3-4 weeks now. I do think the new expect a new Pro …

So much wrong information in the comments... the data is based on surveys, not browser data. It is a 3 month rolling score. Similar to presidential polling. Here is the summary info - In the last 3 months, there are 6.6 million new smart…
