IDC: Europese smartphoneverkopen zakken in door latere release iPhone

Worldwide Mobile Phone Market Experiences Slower Growth as Smartphone Purchases Soften in the Third Quarter, According to IDC

Als je kijkt naar de tabel, is er eigenlijk maar één echte verliezer, LG.

Apple gained share and posted the third-highest growth rate of any Top 5 vendor but dropped to the number 5 position globally. Global iPhone shipments declined sequentially during the same quarter that company founder Steve Jobs handed the CEO reins to Tim Cook. The decline, not coincidentally, happened as Apple readied itself for the 4S launch, which many waited for. Apple's ability to upgrade 3GS users to the 4S, for example, and make continued inroads into developing economies, where it has been less successful, will help dictate the company's smartphone fortunes in the future.

Let ook vooral op de groei van ZTE (China).

Inderdaad opvallend dat LG zo snel aan het dalen is, Samsung lijkt de strijd tussen die twee te winnen.

En ZTE gaat inderdaad hard. Nu nog klein, maar als die zo door blijft groeien...
