Apples new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus were on sale for nearly a week in September, but that seemingly wasnt enough time to curb the platforms steepest market share decline in months.
NetMarketShare is a well-respected market research firm that monitors web traffic and uses that data to calculate market share, though usage share might be a more appropriate term. Where mobile platforms are concerned, the companys data for the month of September shows a relatively sharp drop in share for Apples mobile device lineup, while Android enjoyed its biggest gain in months.
DONT MISS: The most ridiculous Apple rumor of all time is actually real
According to the firms data, which was just released on Thursday, Apples iOS market share dropped to 38.58% in September, which is down from 40.82% in August. This marks iOSs steepest drop in share since April of this past year, when it dropped to 38.81% from 41.97% in the prior month.
NetMarketShares data suggests that Apples share of the mobile market was at its lowest point in 2015 last year.
Meanwhile, Android enjoyed gains at Apples expense. The firms data shows that Googles share of the global mobile market climbed from 52.14% in August to 53.54% in September. Android began the year at 47.45%.
Microsofts mobile market share dropped to 2.48% last month from 2.60% in August, and BlackBerrys share is now so low that it falls in the Other category.
