Androids market share down after the iPhone 4

August 18th, 2011 by Joseph Ruthaford

It has been less than six months but it looks like Apple is really moving in on the phone market of Verizon. The Android share of phones sold went from 51.4% to 41.1% which shows a major shift amongst many Verizon users. Chitika Insights has shown a breakdown of the end of March in which Verizon was the biggest Android carrier. Now the newest study which is about 5 months later shows that major decrease in Verizon’s slice of the US Android pie just after the launch of the iPhone 4. This might not bold well for Android in the coming months with a new iPhone 4 and 5 coming out in the September/October. It looks like the Droid will have to make a strong push in the coming months with better phones and the ice-cream sandwich OS which should be a very special OS.
