According to the latest data released by comscore, a market-research agency, the US currently has 142 million smartphone users, with nearly 73.84 million users using Android smartphones, up from 52%. Compared to the data released last month by ComScore, the US has 141 million smartphone users, with smartphone users using Android as 73.88 million, compared to 52.4%. "The gap between the two sets of data is not obvious, so it is not yet clear that Android has fallen in the U.S. market," Dediu said in a report. But it is undeniable that the Android system, after years of rapid development, has now passed the peak of growth. Dediu points out that while the market share of Android has stopped growing from a year ago, the number of Android users has continued to grow as smartphone users continue to grow. But in recent months, with the growth of smartphone users slowing, Android has seen its first market share slide. Jay Yarow, the US science and technology blogger, BusinessInsider that all major U.S. telecoms operators are subsidising the iphone, which could compete with Android handsets and help the iphone gain market share. Despite the decline in U.S. market share, Android still dominates the global smartphone market. Android has a 80% per cent share of the global smartphone market, according to data from IDC. Aroer said that while the iphone's share in the US smartphone market has risen, it cannot change Apple's decline in the global smartphone market. On a global scale, the iphone still has a high price and fewer operations, and its market share is widening with Android. (Joker)
