Newest comScore Reports Show Android and Apple’s Continued Dominance

Published

on

apple-VS-samsung

The smartphone market’s numbers from March are now in and you wouldn’t need that many guesses as to who is leading the battle in the US. Android’s numbers went up by 4% which pushed it past the halfway mark to 51% and it currently leads the herd. Apple is still quite high with its second place and a market share of 30.7%. This gives the combined market share to both those companies a massive 82%. Microsoft and RIM took hits of 0.8% for Microsoft and 3.7% for RIM which saw their tallies drop to 3.9% and 12.3% respectively.

For now, the US smartphone market only seems to be a two-horse race. The total amount of smartphones in America now stands at 106 million owners which is a full 9% more than it was 4 months ago in December. However, with companies like HTC which was also not as impressive from the statistics, it will be looking at how it’s ‘One’ line of smartphones will fare over the next few months. As for LG, given its recent refocus on the Android platform they will also be ones to watch.

As for the two leaders on the other hand, Samsung will see its latest flagship device take center-stage tomorrow at London with Apple rumored to be launching its next-gen iPhone in June. As for what those two much anticipated behemoths of phones will do to the market, we can only wait and see. Also, with the launching of the BlackBerry 10 Mobile OS yesterday which apparently received rave reviews from early developers who were present at the event, it seems that RIM will not be giving up the race without a fight.

iPhone 6S Prepares For September 18th Release Date

Published

on

iphone6-diamond-ecstasy-goldIf you are on the lookout for either the iPhone 6S or the iPhone 6S Plus, then here is news for you – chances are pretty high that you can pick up either one, or perhaps even both if you are feeling fat in the pocket, this coming September 18th. First of all, there was a leaked internal memo from Vodafone alongside Japanese site ITHome and German tech experts Macerkopf claiming that the new iPhones 6S models will roll out this coming September 18th in their respective countries

With Japan, Germany and the UK being tier one Apple launch countries, this means that those living in the mentioned countries will receive the iPhones at the same time as folks living over in the US – traditionally speaking, of course. There really isn’t that much time left to wait, as it is less than a month away, and I am quite sure that the time will pass by sooner than you think.

iPad Air 3 Not Coming This Year According To Rumors

Published

on

apple-logo2It looks like the folks over at Digitimes have come up with their own interpretation of things to come – that there will be no iPad Air 3 released, at least for this year. Digitimes has had their fair share of hits and misses in the past, so it would be best to take this rumor concerning the non-release of the iPad Air 3 in 2015 with a pinch of salt.

Digitimes also laid claim that the iPad mini 4 will not be as supercharged as some of the rumors that had been going around, as it will bring with it only small and incremental upgrades when compared to its predecessor, the iPad mini 3. This does not seem to bode well for fans of the compact tablet, taking into consideration how the iPad mini 3 itself was improved over its predecessor with a new Touch ID fingerprint reader.

Since Apple tends to roll out a new iPad in October, we will just have to sit tight and see whether this particular rumor has enough “legs” to run.
