Nice..
There must be a reason Apple?s share price has dipped below $400 these last few days, and it may be related to their sales actually dropping year on year in one of the richest markets in the world.
According to the IDC Apple?s shipments dropped from 7 million in Q1 2012 to only 6.3 million in Q1 2013. With no new iPhone in sight for Q2 or possibly Q3 the situation can only deteriorate further, unless Apple drastically cut their prices.
Windows Phone vendors like Nokia will be smiling however, as Q1 2013 saw more than 70% YoY growth to 1.9 million units This vastly exceeded the growth of the market itself, which was only 12% YoY.
Android remains king in Europe, with 21 million phones shipped and 35% YoY growth, but despite the discrepancy in numbers between Windows Phone and Android it is clear Windows Phone is the only OS which can challenge the behemoth growth-wise.
