Your graph directly supports my assertion:
Android had a 34% market share lead in Q4 2010 and a 22% lead in the iP4 launch quarter prior.
After opening on Verizon at highest tier only in Feb 2011, that lead "eroded" immediately to 24% and 23% for the following quarters.
Q3 and Q4 2011 it's well known that iphone sales lagged waiting the new phone and then surged but taking these quarters together you get a gap around 19-20%.
How is that "really not true" to say that Android's lead eroded when that's exactly what your chart shows?
- usaar333 15y agoSorry, I was interpreting your word 'erode' as sharper than I should have interpreted and was looking at Android market share among all platforms. You are correct; after the Verizon launch, the ratio of Android:iPhone sales fell significantly.
