The Iphone Blog

As easy as it is for us to become entirely enamoured with our wonderful phones, it’s easy to forget that the iPhone is a luxury device, with a high operating cost, and still controls a relatively small portion of the market. Even if it does seem like everyone you know has one.

Globally, the iPhone has about 2.5% of the market share, says Strategy Analytics, which is a fraction of their 30% in the United States. While admittedly the iPhone is Apple’s only device, Nokia, Samsung and Motorola each have more than 20% of the world using their devices, and LG has 11%. Given these companies all produce a much wider variety of phones, both smart and not-so-smart, it would be interesting to see the numbers comparing individual smartphones.
