The competition between Android and iOS is to last. While many are waiting anxiously for the new Apple iPhone, market studies addressing the Android OS continues to gain ground in sales and has more than half the U.S. market.
A new and recent market research, confirmed that the Android operating system is the most widely used in the United States. Currently the Google OS has 51% market share, while iOS is only 34%.
A recent market survey conducted by Nielson, confirmed that the Android phones are the most used in the United States of America, already surpassing the 51% of the market. In turn, the Apple OS has 34% of the U.S. market.
The research focused on two questions: What was the most used operating system and hardware which the most commonly chosen by users. The timeline was considered the second quarter from April to June 2012.
The results were clear and, on one hand leads Android in the smartphone market overall, on the other side is the OS of Apple that keeps first place in the hardware.
Let's look at the graphics.
Most widely used mobile operating system:
As can be seen in the first graph, the general level OS Android mobile operating system is the most used by the population americada, with a total of 51.8% by June of this month. The OS is what Apple has the second highest, with 34.3% market share. RIM BlackBerry perceiro is in place with only 8.1% and 5.9% indicate outroas operating systems.
Users who recently up to 3 months, bought a smartphone also have identical results. Android still in the top with 54.6% and 36.3 IOS features BlackBerry with less choice, 4%.
In this second bar chart can induce more and more users opt for Android, but there are a large part of people who choose iOS for your smartphone at the time of your choice.
Most widely used smartphone hardware:
The second chart shows the preference of users, the hardware level. This question is very important, since, while Android is distributed by various brands and models, the Apple OS is loyal to its creator and is in only one brand, Apple.
In this sense, and looking at the chart we can see that the values are different. Here Apple takes the first position in the choice of users, with 34% market share. Here is the Samsung with 17%, HTC and Motorola with 14% to 11%, they already have with the Android OS.
Blackberry, which is also loyal to the brand, has a significant percentage of 9% of the market.
The HTC smartphones are chosen less (2.9%), Palm (0.1%) and others (0.2%) of Windows Mobile, Samsung (0.5%), Nokia (0.3%) and HTC (0.5%) with Windows 7 , Nokia (0.9%) Symbian, and Palm (0.6%) with PalmWebOS.
In this sense we can see that although Android be the most used, the user marks vary widely in relation to the purchase in the selection.
In turn, those who buy an iPhone, does not have much to choose from, and that Apple has a higher percentage of choice for the hardware.
A curious aspect of this research is that 66% of people who intend to buy a phone, now opt for buying a smartphone.
What do you think these results? The possible arrival of the iPhone 5 may change this reality?
