Let your consumers market for you.
21. GLOBAL MARKET POSITION
A year ago, the world's leading smartphone operating systems, Android and
iOS, owned a little over half the market. Now they own more than 80
percent of it.
Of the 152.3 million smartphones shipped in the calendar quarter ending in
March, 59 percent had Android on them and 23 percent ran Apple iOS,
In addition, both platforms have been able to build robust developer
communities.
Android might be leading the smartphone market with over 107.8 million
UNITS, but it seems that Apple is winning where Android is losing in the
tablet game.
Apple built upon its strong March iPad launch and ended the quarter with its
best-ever shipment total for the iPad, outrunning even the impressive
.shipment record it set in the fourth quarter of last year,”
