Apple's market share is declining in Europe, but expands in the US

22 December, 2011
The UK is also seeing a growth from Apple, but continental Europe is friendlier to cheaper Androids.

Samsung is selling amazingly well in the European Union countries that also explains why Apple went after them. Everyone i see have a samsung smartphone or a cheap nokia smartphone i myself have a nokia e5 which have been serving me pretty good for 1 year and 2 months.

    IOS 6 next big innovative feature - bluetooth transfer to other phones, or perhaps sms delivery reports... we shoudn't refer to an Iphone like a smartphone, because it lacks some pretty basic features

      So how's Apple's revenue share going?

      That's the only thing that really counts.

      Market share did Nokia a lot of good.

        apple 'o' holic, 22 Dec 2011well maybe the pricing is the issue. as it a high end hands... moreI dont think so...
        Here in Sweden, Iphone is selling at exactly the same price as a Nokia N9 and a Moto Razr, or a HTC Sensation XL... but handsets other than Apple ones are selling more than it...
        Proves a point..
        check out on the online store for itself...

          well maybe the pricing is the issue. as it a high end handset. so not everyone can afford it. so thats probably the problem. you pay for you get anyway. top end smartphone.

          i am 1000% happy with mine. the only niggle. is the battery life. but thats apple's fault for making it so addicitive to use. everything about it screams perfection. !!!

          its a credit to steve jobs

            Not surprised at all. Drop the iphone and it smashes to pieces like a pack of cards. Its beyond my imagination how Apple after spending over a full year cant invest a proportion of profit made on redesigning the iphone4s to the satisfaction of their followers. Wiser europeans are sticking with their old iphone4 or better switching to android. It's worth it rather than spending a dine on an overpriced rebranded product. Wake up UK, europe is smarter now.

                  Not sure about Europe but does it really surprise anyone that large number of americans are so attached to a brand? Don't forget, US is the only country where car companies like honda, toyota, and nissan can come in and rebadge their existing model with Acura, Le

                    [deleted post]Not about European or American.... Motorola is an American company, but its new model is 100 times better than Iphone 4S, in terms of every possible thing...hardware, style, performance, build, software , camera, music quality etc etc etc...

                          It is not Patent or financial situation....
                          People in Mainland Europe has finally starting to gather some sense and hence abandoning Apple.
                          Nokia has launched a monstrous campaign and Android with its new models are selling better.

                            OK Europe is in a bad financial state, but maybe it's also time to stop that 1$=1€ nonsense conversion rate. Why should Europe pay for Apple's (and others too) electronics at a higher price than the US ?

                                I like the iphone the only thing i dont like about the phone is the price and the company's attitude towards patent and how they use it against competitors.

                                      US marketing model does not work in Europe. That's obvious.
