Looking at all phone sales, Apple is the only purely smartphone creator in the top 5, increasing their market share from 2.4% to 4.6%.
Once you look at smartphones only, the story gets a bit more interesting. Worldwide, both Android and iOS are climbing noticeably, with Symbian, Blackberry and Microsoft all losing substantial market share. While Nokia has lost 18% of the market over the last year, their huge presence in Europe and Asia keeps them above Apple, who now sit at 18.2%. The real winner is Android, climbing from 17.2% up to 43.4% over the last year.
