The Apple iPhone continues to dominate the market for tablets, representing more than 2 out of 3 tablets sold in the second quarter of this year, a market analysis conducted by Strategy Analytics. Specifically, the iPhone went from 62% in the previous quarter to 68% market share this quarter, which means, according to the company that has made the analysis, the highest level for two years.
According to the data, global shipments of tablets reached 25 million units, a 67% increase over the 14.9 million in the same quarter last year. This means that all competitors combined Apple sold only 8 million devices.
Of these eight million Android gets 29% and Windows tablets with only 1%, although it is true that it is not already on sale on Microsoft Surface. In interesting to note the overall growth of Android tablets, reaching 7.3 million units.
Strategy Analytics says that the bad numbers competition from Apple are due to some hardware designs unspectacular, few models with 3G capabilities and very few applications optimized for use in tablets.
Apple has exceeded its own expectations in terms of sales of iPad is concerned, in the last quarter. It has sold 17 million units, representing an increase of 84% over last year. In total, Apple has sold 84 million iPad. It took more than twice as long to reach this milestone with iPod and Apple has been able to achieve this figure in a third less time on the iPhone than the iPhone.
We saw yesterday what Tim Cook says iPad competition. Apple's CEO is convinced that customers are not looking tablets, seek iPad . But we are not so clear, despite these numbers, the advantage is so great that the iPhone currently remains so in the future.
So far we have seen the sales success of the Nexus 7 and I am sure that some will take away market share to Apple's device.
On the other hand, Amazon is also developing many new features . It is also true that the market is looking forward to Apple's announcement of its iPad Mini, with which stand up to the tablets less cost. According to the rumors could be presented in autumn along with the iPhone 5.
What do you think? Can Apple continue to maintain the 50% global market share for long?
