iPhone seeing steady market share gain in the US

At a time where many expected iPhone sales to slow in anticipation of upcoming new models, the iPhone 5s and 5c are seeing a spike in market share in the US. According to Comscore's monthly report on US smartphone market share, Apple's market share went up to 41.9 per cent up from 41.3 per cent in February. This is remarkable considering the iPhones launched late last year and there has since been a flurry of competing smartphone releases from the likes of LG, Samsung, HTC and others.

As for other updates, Android is still the leading OS at 52.1 per cent and Android and Windows Phone market share remained the same as it did in February with 52.1% and 3.4% respectively. BlackBerrys market share is further reduced at 2.3% market share. Since most smartphone manufacturers have already played their hand this year by releasing their flagship models, it remains to be seen how much momentum Apple can ride towards the release of the 2014 iPhone which is expected to be one of the biggest in its history with a new form factor and features coinciding with the release of iOS 8.
