iPhone trails Android when it comes to usage
Apple saw its share of the US smartphone market increase during the three
months to the end of May in terms of platform prevalence but it still trails
Android in that context by some considerable distance. According to figures
compiled by the research firm ComScore, Apple’s operating systems covered
31.9 percent of the US market in May, an increase of around 1.7 percent.
Android’s share of the market however was put at around 50.9 percent in total
for the period.

The big question is whether any of the other major contenders can mount a serious and sustained challenge to the dominant position that Apple and Samsung currently occupy within the industry.
