Needham analyst Charlie Wolf, US investment bank, said in Monday that the Verizon version of the iphone had led to a market share in Android, while the iphone A 5 listing will further exacerbate this trend. Apple's share of the smartphone market in the U.S. increased 12.3% to 29.5% in the first quarter of this year, while Android's market share dropped from 52.4% to 49.5%, according to IDC, the first year-on-year decline in Android Market share in all regions. "We think this is just the beginning of the loss of market share in the US," Wolff said. With the release of the iphone 5, which supports GSM and CDMA networks this fall, Verizon will win more users. In addition, the IPhone 5 May support Sprint and T networks. "The reason Apple postponed the iphone 5 to September was due to the iphone 4 sales on Verizon's network," Wolff added. If Apple were to release the iphone 5 in June, it would certainly affect Verizon's iphone 4 sales. "(Li Ming)
