IPhone Accounts For 50 Percent Of U.S. Mobile Web Traffic; Android At 5 Percent
- shimi 18y agoThe article says that Android holds 5% of the total of the smartphones market, and iPhone accounts for 50% of the web traffic, but doesn't state its market share. The title require some adjustment.
- eli 18y agoActually, the iPhone does NOT generate 50% of US mobile traffic. http://wapreview.com/blog/?p=3383 http://wapreview.com/blog/?p=3383 The 50% number refers to the Apple device's share of ad requests from smartphones. Smartphones as a group make up 33% of total U.S. ad requests so the iPhone's true share of US mobile web traffic is about 17%. Actually it's somewhat less than that as Ad Mob's iPhone numbers include requests from iPhone applications as well as browsing. And that's not even considering the severe sample bias in only compiling data from sites that use AdMob's mobile ad service. This is why blog journalism gets a bad rap -- repeating a claim they read on another site without actually reading the report they linked to.
