2012 shows the world an extremely interesting war between two mega corporations - Apple and Samsung. Each smartphone sold is another step towards strengthening its market position, and it is likely that Apple will not be able to surpass its rival. Such a disappointing forecast for the second quarter of 2012 was published by Reuters, citing data obtained through its own research.
So, according to the research company Nielsen, the number of smartphone sales in April-June from Samsung amounted to about 50 million devices, and from Apple - only 30.5 million. Such a huge difference, according to market analysts, is caused primarily by the appearance of the Samsung Galaxy S 3, as well as by Apple's calm on the other hand.
Here's what Francisco Geronimo said:
Quite a weighty statement, but it's worth looking at the truth - sales of new items from Samsung are in full swing, Nokia appears less and less with good news, and Apple does not receive official statements about at least an approximate release date for the iPhone 5.
To complete the picture, it should be noted that Samsung is also the leader of the smartphone market in Russia. So, according to data obtained from Russian researchers, Samsung accounts for 35.7% of the market, while Nokia has about 34% and 5% from Apple.
Yes, the Russian market was finally lost by Apple, but perhaps it is only a matter of time - the release of iPhone 5 is not far off. But will Samsung not have time to take over the Russian market completely?
