Those that thought the iPhone 5 would not be successful have been proved wrong today. Strategy Analytics have released a report that says the iPhone 5 was the best-selling smartphone in the last quarter of 2012, leaving the Galaxy S3 way behind.
In the final quarter of the year more than 27 million iPhone 5’s
were shipped out, giving it a 12.6% share of the market. At the
same time Apple also moved more than 17 million iPhone 4S handsets, equaling an 8% share compared to the 15.4 million Galaxy S3’s shipped.
The Galaxy S4 is expected to be unveiled in March making it likely to be the winner of the 2nd or third quarter statistics – unless Apple pulls another trick out of the bag in the meantime. The only real surprise that comes out of this report is that, a year after release, sales of theiPhone 4S are still going strong.
