If you need any more evidence that Apple is doing ludicrously well on the mobile scene, we’ve seen three reports today showing just how far above the rest sales have been.
For the first time, Apple has surpassed Nokia to become the biggest smartphone vendor in the world. Sure, everyone still uses Nokia dumbphones, but Apple now officially rules the roost for the smartphone world. Last quarter saw Nokia ship 16.7 million smartphones, and Apple 20.3 million.
Apple had previously passed Nokia in revenue and profits, but this marks beating them on units, too.
Meanwhile, the iPad controls more than 60% of the tablet world — which Android is making significant inroads in to, but Apple’s OS still controls twice Android’s market share.
In the world of enterprise, the iPad is “trouncing Android” according to AllThingsD. What constitutes a trouncing? 95% of the market. Yeah, that’s a trouncing. I’m sure as Android continues to mature as a platform, that number will shrink, but it’ll be a while before Apple loses its lead.
