1 in 10 American Smartphone Subscribers Owns an iPhone
Apple has just crossed the 10 percent milestone of mobile subscriber market share in the U.S.
According to Comscore, 10.8 percent of U.S. mobile phone users are using an iPhone, while 13.6 percent have a Motorola phone, 20.6 percent a LG phone and 25.5 percent a Samsung device. Apple, however, is the only top 5 brand whose market share is growing.
In the smartphone segment alone, Apple now owns 28.1 percent (+1 point) of the market and Google 46.3 percent (+4.4 points). (-4.5 points to 17.2 percent) is still on a path of sharp decline, Microsoft (-0.3 points to 5.4 percent) cannot gain traction and Symbian (1.6 percent) has become virtually meaningless in this space.
According to Comscore, 90 million people in the U.S. owned smartphones during the third quarter of the year, up 10 percent from Q2. The entire mobile phone user base with users age 13 and older was 234 million.

1 in 10 Americans are sheep.
Apple still suck at providing good hardwares so whats the point?
seriously.... spell check...
and to the first paragraph. Considering LG / Moto / Samsung all run android on their phones and Google (android) is increasing in market share (+4.4 points), wouldn't their market share be actually increasing dramatically?...
In the other side of the news, 1 out of 4 people actually owns a samsung phone.
This phone... is amazing. Cant get a samsung phone? dude, you're a barista.
I just ordered a Samsung Epic 4G from Amazon for 1 penny. I wanted to go Windows but the storage capacity is topped out at 16GB. With the Samsung I can go as high as 32 if needed. Forget about Apple. I guess they think their stuff is too good to put on sale.
I am not a smartphone subscriber and I do not own an iphone. That suits me just fine.
Never heard of RIM or Symbian?
More Apple lies...
"Jumping past Apple, Samsung has become the new world leader in the smartphone arena with %223 year over year market growth"

Hence why are standing in the world as it pertains to math, science, etc is falling rapidly.
only 1 in 10 can afford it is probably a big reason.
Good job android for keeping the ship chugging at full steam.
Never heard of RIM or Symbian?
RIM = Blackberry ... better?
I personally am opposed to anything Apple but I know how many sheep there are in this world and am surprised it's only 1 in 10. and not a higher number.
I'm more surprised that LG holds a 20% market share. Only 5% less then Samsung.

Sad isn't it? You'd think someone that posts "news" on a tech site would be better at math....and better at keeping up with news...

Wonder where Comscore got their info....
1 in 10 Americans are sheep.
For liking a decent phone?
46.3 percent of smartphone owners are sheep...sheep with phones that will be relegated to irrelevance within 90 days of purchase...sheep with poorly built, cheap looking/feeling phones...sheep that never went to/finished college...sheep that will call iPhone owners sheep even if iPhones only made up 1% of the market...sheep that should be happy that their lives are so simpleton that they can post daily comments about how great their cheap, shitty Android device is...sheep that root for a corporation as if it's some kind of humanitarian cause...way to go Android sheep, way to go.
so apple is growing rapidly, samsung still leads gut google's android is declining, microsoft is cornered and symbian is meaningless.
google should improve android to outperform ios.
nice to see microsoft cornered and symbian become worthless.
seriously Considering LG / Moto / Samsung all run android on their phones and Google (android) is increasing in market share (+4.4 points), wouldn't their market share be actually increasing dramatically?...
Finish reading the paragraph "Apple, however, is the only top 5 brand whose market share is growing." I'm not sure who the top 5 brands are but I could infer that they could include LG/Moto/Samsung.
In other news, 90% of American smartphone users aren't irritating hipster douchebags who think owning a branded product gives their lives meaning and themselves a personality.
I wanted to go Windows but the storage capacity is topped out at 16GB.
I have 40Gb in my Focus, and 32gigs in my HTC HD7 (both WP7 phones) I just sold to help fund the purchase of the TITAN.
Stop believing the bull poop spread by ill-informed pushers of android and iOS.
A cheap, awesome phone is better than an expensive, crap iPhone.
Insults aside I expect the iPhone has an unusually high ratio of Subscribers (People who have purchased it on a plan) to people who have purchased it outright because of the price...
25 million sheeps...

There's another sheep born every minute... Another table showed that Samsung's % didn't change and LG/Moto/RIM dropped. Maybe there are other companies not in the top 5 increasing their market share rapidly (lke HTC)?

Guess you were born a minute ago?
There's only one table in the article, if you referring to the table in the article on cnet another person posted, then you're comparing 2 different data sets and clearly have poor reading comprehension.
The article we're posting on is referring to United States sales, and the cnet article is showing data for Global Sales. Now, this may be news to you, but there are other Country's on the Globe other then the United Stats.
But seeing how you were born a minute ago, I guess I can't expect you to understand this right away... give it some time maybe it'll sink in through that soft baby skull of yours.

Do you even bother looking at the source of the article?
I wonder what would happen if iPhones all of the sudden became invisible to other people...
Do you even bother looking at the source of the article?
yes.
And I have this feeling you don't know what's going on right now.
Have you ready the other comments to which I was originally inferring?
yes.And I have this feeling you don't know what's going on right now.Have you ready the other comments to which I was originally inferring?
Not yet, when I first posted.
After looking at the cnet article, I don't get where you see my post talking about that article when I clearly said Samsung didn't change market share.
Want me to rephrase myself? 25 million estimated sheep in the US. Happy?
Wait, if you're offended by me calling you a sheep, it's not directed at you. Just to be clear. It's a simple math problem. Just saying more iCrap = more sheep.

Ok so you quoted me for no good reason then?
Where are you getting this 25million number? According to this article about 9.8million people own iPhones, and little less then 25million own Samsung smartphones.
So you're saying more iCrap = more sheep, and also Samsung users are also sheep since there are closer to 25million of them?
If you made sense this back and forth would go a lot smoother.
Is this guy paid by apple or something?, he says only apple in the top 5 are are growing...
I CALL BS did he not notice that from july to october while apple share grew buy 1% ONLY,,
google shares grew by 4.4, by the way by shares i mean market share.
ITS ON THE FRIGGIN TABLE.

My numbers we're calculations based on the data.
10.8% of 234 million phone subscriber = 25.272 million
28.1% of 90 million smartphone = 25.29 million
I quoted you to say that you are correct (which I forgot to mention. missing only RIM in the top 5). Saying that it is weird that Google share is growing even if 3 out of the top 5 didn't grow in market share.
About that Samsung sheep name, someone will think of something more apt... probably related to the colors.
