In Q3 2012, the market share of the iPad would have decreased by almost 10% compared to Q3 2011

  Those from IDC they published today the first figures with the sales and market shares of the tablet manufacturers, and Apple would have lost almost 10% of the market share held in the same period last year. The information from IDC is preliminary, mostly based on assumptions and it should be mentioned that although Apple says how much it sells to customers, in the case of Samsung, for example, we are talking about units sold to stores and not directly to customers.

  The second "problem" is like IDC he said last year that Apple has a market share of 61.5% on the tablet market, now they say that in fact it would be 59.7%, so somewhere there is a small error in their calculations. Given that we are talking about preliminary figures, I would not look at them with great confidence for now, but it is clear that Apple has lost part of its market share at the global level, now it remains to be seen how much it has lost.
