Fwd: iClarified - Apple News - iOS Continues Closing the Gap on Android in the U.S.

[Owen Densmore]

Well, this told us what we already knew: iOS lags significantly behind Android, due to several devices using it.  It also tells us that iPhone is still the market device leader.  But it adds an interesting other statistic: apps/resources on mobile devices.

Top Smartphone Properties & Apps

Google Sites ranked as the top web property on smartphones, reaching 92.6 percent of the mobile media audience (mobile browsing and app usage), followed by Facebook (86.3 percent), Yahoo! Sites (81.7 percent) and Amazon Sites (66.8 percent). Facebook ranked as the top smartphone app, reaching 76.1 percent of the app audience, followed by five Google-owned apps: YouTube (53.7 percent), Google Play (53.6 percent), Google Search (53.5 percent), Google Maps (46.2 percent) and Gmail (45.0 percent).

This is likely the most important stat of all: what apps are on all the phones and what their "share" is.

Cool.

Meanwhile, in China, the iPhone fell to 5% market share in the 2nd quarter.  The 5C is priced at $733, the 5S at $864.  Shares in Apple suppliers fell today as analysts tried to understand why Apple's "low end" phone was priced at more than 2x the competition in the world's largest market.
