The past days I told you that the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S4 would not have had such a big impact on the sales of iPhone terminals in the USA, and one published study today confirms this. Between February and April 2013, Apple and iOS registered increases of 1.4% in terms of market share, the launch Samsung Galaxy S4 si HTC One seeming to have minimal effect on market share a AndroidOS. Samsung registered a slight increase in market share in this period, but it is lower than that of the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, a sign that the devices failed to convince even so many people that they are worth buying.
Apple and Samsung managed to register increases at the expense of the majority of mobile terminal manufacturers, the only operating system that did not decrease being Symbian OS. Apple is currently the largest producer of smartphones in the US, and the market share of iOS is only 13 percentage points away from that of Samsung. The study was carried out by analyzing the logs of the use of mobile terminals on the Internet and did not take into account the figures of "sales to partners" that some companies such as Samsung offer and which do not reveal the real sales.
