Well when you ask yourself, which phone is more popular? Revenue makes no difference. It's about volume. So whoever sold the most flagship phones, is the most popular, in reality. Although, many people could have decided to go the cheaper route when they would have rather bought an iphone so I suppose this is not necessarily true.

there exists only 3 iphones. 4, 4s and 5. Differenz sizes or colors are not different phones
The real story of that chart is that Blackberry is dead. 0.7% of the U.S. market? Ouch.
Apple and Microsoft have gained ground purely at Blackberry's expense. All of these mobile OS's have really been getting their gains against feature phones and dying smartphone platforms (like Blackberry). It means that going forward the competition becomes more head to head.
Strange as it sounds, up to this point, they really haven't been even competing against each other; more like a race to grab turf (kind of like the early part of the game in Civilization).
Now the real fun begins.

t-mobile is awesome, great offers and services, but they need to improve their signal strength quickly
Me too. Loving the HD Voice
(for now only between me/spouse and a few other folks on TMO). Can't wait till AT&T/VZ users can upgrade to the better voice codec more folks I'll be able to call with decent quality.
Can't beat the price - bought phones outright, paying $110/mo for 5 lines.
Same! Happiest I've ever been w/ a carrier so far. Switched April 10 on iphone launch. Hit anywhere from 6-10GB month data on unlimited plan and never been throttled etc. seeing a ton of LTE where I live and some traveling and Edge is very rare. Never have dropped a call. Really greatly priced per month on 3 lines
The chart sems to show that Blackberry users went to Apple and Windows and not Android. Which if security is the primary concern for blackberry users that makes sense
With the iPhone on Tmobile I can say that I am finally satisfied with my phone service, price, and customer service now.
Not that BS again - Windows MOBILE was out before the iPhone was released. Windows PHONE came out years later (and no, it's not the same). And it's very encouraging that Microsoft is finally gaining some momentum. Also, 4.7% might not be a lot, but let's not forget that Apple's desktop and laptop marketshare is somewhere around 8%, it's not that bad, really.

They're mainly eating into the low-cost Android market and there's LOTS of that to eat 🙂
Yay,, Android... 🙂
Seems Apple and Samsung like "playing" leap-frog. every time their ow phone's come out.....
No surprise,,,,, What do you expect what would happen ? Android declines when they release their Galaxy S4 ?
*actually, that's not a bad idea either*
just wait till Apple gets the next phone out shortly, then it will be reversed again....
Whats this "Other" thing ? I see it every time.. Is that all other smart-phones not important enough ? Looks like it

All this reassuring back patting and pseudo-analysis from what is really a very limited set of data. In reality, the American market is only a small segment of the global market, and looking at its statistics alone hardly tells the full story. In fact, America isn't even the largest smartphone market anymore, as China now has that title, with India and Brazil not far behind.
Here are the true global statistics
You can see that the true year on year story is the absolute dominance of Andriod. Most impressive is not the market share, but the number of units sold, where amazingly, Android has doubled the number of units.
Here's the data by manufacturer
Apple is not only falling behind the Android wolfpack, but is also starting to trail Samsung by a large margin. Some might say that Apple still leads in profitability (though I would like to see updated data for this), but I think such an incredible surge from Android is a mere inkling of the true future dominance of Android.
