According to the third
quarter sales report of the Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP), Apple
Inc is behind Samsung Electronics with 34 per cent share in the U.S. smartphone
market. Undoubtedly Samsung has taken the driving seat with 38 per cent market
share. This indicates that Samsung appears to have taken a bit of share from
Apple Inc in the U.S.
market.
In October 2012, Apple
became the market leader with the release of iPhone 5. CIRP
also mentioned that Apple Inc may overtake Samsung in the United States in the last quarter
of 2013 with the release of the iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5C.
In the last three surveys
of CIRP, Apple Inc was the top smartphone maker. It is interesting to see that
South Korea-based company Samsung has overtaken its rival without considering
feature phone sales data.
Rivalry between Apple Inc
and Samsung is known to all. Even Samsung has made themselves the strong
competitor for Apple in smartphone and Tablet PC sectors. Now, this latest
sales figures will add fuel to their competition.
