Android is border out iOS as the leading smartphone operate organisation in the consumer U.S. securities industry , but Apple is still king of the raft when it comes to share among smartphone manufacturers , according to the June numbers from market place research firm Nielsen .
While 39 percent of smartphones are running Google ’s Android operating organisation , 28 percent of the market is on iOS . On the other hand , Apple ’s control of Io means that every iPhone sold count towards Apple ’s part of maker , while Android phones are made by a variety of company like HTC , Motorola , Samsung , and a bevy of others .
Among manufacturer , there ’s a tie for second station between RIM , who owns 20 percentage of the smartphone market with its BlackBerry political program , and HTC , who also has 20 pct of the marketplace , divided up between Android and Windows Mobile models .
Keep in mind that smartphone maker market share is a different tympani of fish from operate organisation market share : Android numbers wo n’t include Android tablets , while iOS number wo n’t let in the ( much bombastic ) population of iPad and iPod touch owners .
And remember too that while a “ tardy and neat ” Android earpiece seems to surface every few weeks , Apple ’s last update to the iPhone was in June 2010 , and is available on just two domesticated carriers . Earlier this calendar month , the later figures from market research firm ChangeWave showed a high need for future iPhone purchases , while a survey from PriceGrabber.com articulate that35 percent of consumers intend to buy the next model of Apple ’s iPhone , good deal unseen . So , even at a 11 - point deficit , iOS intelligibly seems to be holding its own .
