"Microsoft has struggled to make headway in the smartphone market, holding just 3.5% of the worldwide market, compared to 68% for Google Inc's Android devices and 1% for Apple's iPhone, according to tech research firm IDC."
I don't pretend to know all smartphones nor the worldwide market, but isn't 1% such a low number that it must be a mistake ? |
I think they are talking JUST the iPhone and not iOS. However, that is stupid as it should include iOS as it calls out all Android devices. Unless its just counting Android phones.. then it may be right. But I'd still think just iPhones are much higher than 1%. Maybe closer to 20%.

No. It's just a mistake. It's 16.9%.

Seems way too low for Iphone wich allways sell 30m per Quarter.

Its not. Android has dominated the market. When looking at one phone vs one other phone, only the Galaxy S3 comes close to iPhone. But as a full base, Android is ~70% of the market. That leaves 30% for iOS, Blackberry, WP, etc. So ~17% for iOS (leaving 3% for rest) makes perfect sense.
