New numbers show Apple continues to crush Samsung in market share

Written by

Analytics firm comScore just released their latest mobile sector numbers and, in a nutshell, Apple continues eating Samsung’s lunch in terms of market share.

For the three months ending September 15th, share of smartphone subscribers:

  • Apple: 43.6%
  • Samsung: 27.6%
  • LG: 9.4%
  • Motorola: 4.8%
  • HTC: 3.3%

When organized by platform, Android fares better:

  • Android: 52.3%
  • Apple: 43.6%
  • Microsoft: 2.9%
  • BlackBerry: 1.2%
  • Symbian: .1%

The bad news for Microsoft? Their numbers have not changed since the last report, meaning their mobile efforts are not gaining traction. It’d be fair to say that Apple’s numbers are about the same, but that’s much easier to take when you have dominant market share.
