The iPhone 7 is selling better than expected. Where it is being noticed more is in the country where Apple has its headquarters, about United States where iOS market share has risen a whopping 5.2% in the third quarter of 2016. The figures are more impressive when we consider that the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus were only sold for two weeks in that quarter.
In the same period of time and in the same area, Android fell 3.3%, falling from 66.7% to 63.4%. There is no doubt that Samsung's problems with the batteries in its Note 7 had something to do with the Android crash in the third quarter of 2016, at least in the United States. But not in every country in the world sales of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are doing so well.
Not even the iPhone 7 manages to keep the iOS market share in China
Outside the United States, en Germany down 2,5%, from 17.5% to 15%, while in China it fell from 18.7% to 14.2%. Undoubtedly, for Apple the fall in the Asian country, one of the most important markets of Cupertino in recent years, is especially hard.
The report It also gives other interesting data, such as that Apple was completely right when it decided to launch the iPhone SE, a return to 4 inches that had not occurred since 2013 with the iPhone 5s. In fact, the 8.5% of smartphones sold in the UK have been an iPhone SE.
Although it seems that the sales of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are better than those of the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, perhaps they could have been better if it were not for the rumor that ensures that in 2017 will present a groundbreaking iPhone, both in the design (glass front and back) and in some components (first iPhone with OLED screen), which has undoubtedly made many users decide to wait another year to renew their iPhone. Of course, it seems that the XNUMXth anniversary iPhone will break all records again.
