Apple Inc’s iPhone outsold all smartphones in the United
States in July, its first full month on sale, accounting for 1.8 percent of all
U.S. mobile handset sales, said research group
iSuppli.
ISuppli reiterated its forecast that Apple would sell 4.5 million iPhones this year, rising to more than 30 million in 2011.
The two models of the iPhone on the market sold more than Research in Motion’s Blackberry series, the entire Palm portfolio and any individual smartphone model from Motorola, Nokia or Samsung.
“While iSuppli has not collected historical information on this topic, it’s likely that the speed of the iPhone’s rise to competitive dominance in its segment is unprecedented in the history of the mobile-handset market,” iSuppli said.
I haven’t any particular interest in SmartPhones. But, in that portion of my business career that was dedicated to marketing and sales, I remember what it was like to have the hot product. Which is what the iPhone certainly is - in its segment - right now.
