Continuing to take the mobile phone industry by storm, Apple has found itself sitting pretty at the top of a list of smartphone OEMs. This particular list shows Apple is currently the top dog when it comes to smartphone market share for the three months ending May 2011.
The ComScore data shows that 76.8 million people owned smartphones in the United States during the period, with Apple’s iPhones accounting for 26.8% – not bad for a company with just two handsets on sale currently.
Making up the rest of the front runners, we have RIM with 24.7% and HTC with 11.8%.
With Apple having just two dogs in the race – the 12 month old iPhone 4 and 2 year old iPhone 3GS – this is an achievement that should not be underestimated.
With the competition, HTC specifically, putting out umpteen different handsets, on a variety of carriers, sporting every mobile operating system under the sun, it’s perhaps expected that Apple would lag behind. This, however, clearly isn’t the case.
