The iPhone still in front of Android for a hair

the rain of Android terminals, but especially the success of the smartphones of Samsung, weighs mechanically on the share of market of Apple in the Hexagon.

In France, the difference between Android and the iPhone are from now on as fine as a sheet with cigarette. According to the last assessment of comScore (at at the end of April) for Le Figaro, the share of market of the terminals animated by the green robot is from now on 24% (3,5 million users) against 25% for the terminal of Apple (4 million).

Obviously, this variation is to be relativized. Android benefits from a long catalogue as the arm while the apple can rest only on the iPhone 4. Apple thus continues to carry out a remarkable performance with only one model. Its share lost only 5 points since October.

The variation is also less thin if one considers iOS and Android in their globality (telephones and shelves). The system of Apple is thus used by more than 6 million French against 4 million for the system of Google.

Android of agreement, Samsung initially

In addition, the explosion of Android in France east before-all to put on the account of Samsung which with Galaxy S is clearly the second manufacturer of the French market (and the first in Western Europe). The number of users of its smartphones more than quadrupled in one year, according to comScore.

Lastly, it should be noted that the total growth of OS is packed since its share was 22% at the beginning of year (whereas it passed from 4 to 23% in 2010).

But for comScore, Android should double iOS in the next months thanks to the arrival many new models of which very awaited Galaxy S II of Samsung (to read our test). Apple on its side will have to resist until the re-entry and the presentation of a still hypothetical iPhone 5.

Behind these two furious, one finds the Blackberry which regain shares of market (either an opposite tendency to that observed in the United States). They account for against 9,2% of the market 8,5% at the beginning of year.

Disappointment finally for Microsoft which pains to convince with its Windows Phone 7. With at the end of April, that is to say 6 months after the launching of the first compatible terminals, the share of new OS stagnates: 7,5% against 7,7% at the end of 2010.
