The new comScore numbers are out and the more things change, the more they stay the same. Android and iOS dominated while Microsoft and RIM struggled. What’s more interesting, though, is that for the first time in history, over half of all smartphones owned in the U.S. run Android. Over half. That’s a majority.
Last November, Android stood at 46.9%, and grew 3.2% to a total of 50.1% in February. In comparison, Apple grew 1.5% to a total of 30.2% of the U.S. market share over the same period. This suggests that Android phones significantly outsold iPhones, contradicting a previous study by a different research firm.
Blackberry phones continue to drop, losing 3.2% for a total of 13.4% market share in February. Windows phones also lost ground to a total of 3.9%, though the much-anticipated launch of the Lumia 900 should help those numbers a bit. See which manufacturers topped the charts after the break.
On the manufacturer front, Samsung continues to dominate, producing 25.6% of all phones. LG and Motorola’s numbers were lower than before, and Apple surpassed Motorola, producing 13.5% of all phones. HTC sits at 6.3%, though I expect that number to go up with all the buzz surrounding the HTC One series of phones.
