		Home Tech Finance Markets Politics Strategy Entertainment Advertising Retail Sports Life Tuesday, October 8, 2013 Apple Is Taking Share From Android In The US Smartphone Market Apple is taking smartphone share away from Android in the US according to the latest comScore data picked up at BI Intelligence.  For the three month period ending in August, the iPhone controlled 40.7% of the US market, up 1.5% from the previous period. Android was at 51.6% of the market, a .8% drop from the previous period. These obviously aren't massive swings for either platform. But, for Apple, this is good news. These gains happened before it released the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C. Even when Apple's product is getting old, consumers are still buying it versus newer Android phones.  The US is a unique market where Apple competes on price against Android. Globally, the iPhone is getting crushed. This is still encouraging for Apple, because it shows that if it wants to compete on price with Android, it can take share.  Read » Also On Tech Today: Google Moving Staff From Search To Its Payments Business In A New Push For Google Wallet Apple Design God Jony Ive Made This Gorgeous Leica Camera For Charity Advertisement CHART OF THE DAY: More Evidence That Twitter Is Disconnected From The Mainstream Twitter Has A Surprisingly Small Number Of US Users Twitter Lost $69 Million On $254 Million In Revenue During The First Half Of This Year Share this: Facebook Twitter Digg Reddit StumbleUpon LinkedIn The email address for your subscription is: dwyld.kwu.jobhuntportal11@blogger.com Change Your Email Address | Unsubscribe | Subscribe | Subscribe to the Tech RSS Feed Business Insider. 257 Park Avenue South, New York, NY 10010 Terms of Service | Privacy Policy
