BlackBerry is technically dead in the smartphone market

There were few who rushed to preach the death of the iPhone from its own launch, in fact, BlackBerry was "the boss" in this type of device, it had a fairly stable operating system and full of applications, especially messaging, which they became very popular. In the first place, its target market was clearly professionals, however, cheaper models soon began to appear, which democratized access to them. Nevertheless, it all turned in the apple's favor, and today, ten years later, BlackBerry is technically dead.

Officially the latest company analysis Gartner issue the BlackBerry death certificate, and it is that the company has reached the level of 0,0% in the market for smart mobile devices. We are talking about the same company that almost eight years ago ruled the market with no less than 20% of the total, but it was quite ephemeral, everyone went from wanting a BlackBerry to throwing it away in the drawer while they switched to Android (currently the leader market indisputable) or iOS.

In fact, since the launch of the iPhone, BlackBerry continued to grow significantly in terms of market share for two more years, reaching its maximum success in 2009 (19,9%), However, in just eight years it has become a shell company, the second to be left behind, perhaps due to its own ego, as happened with the also deceased Nokia (despite the new devices).

In short, BlackBerry has died, and it is just the prelude to another operating system that is just behind, and that is that Windows Mobile in its different variants now holds 1,1% of the total, a figure at least residual if we into account 81,7% of Android or 17,9% of iOS. Goodbye BlackBerry, it was nice while it lasted ...
