Kantar: Apple gets 53.3 percent of US smartphone sales
iPhone 5 sales boost Apple to outselling all Android phones combined
The phenomenal sales of Apple's iPhone 5 helped boost the Cupertino company to its highest-ever share of US smartphone sales according to stats from over the past 12 weeks. Kantar Worldpanel ComTech released a new analysis of the US smartphone market in the current quarter, finding that the release of the iPhone 5 caused Apple's share of sales to jump to 53.3 percent in the United States, largely at the expense of iOS' main competitor, Google's Android platform. Year-over-year, iOS sales share was up 17.5 percentage points, while Android's share dropped 10.9 points.
Apple's bump came also at the expense of Canadian BlackBerry manufacturer Research In Motion, which has struggled to retain users even as it prepares to launch the next generation of BlackBerry devices. Year-over-year, RIM saw its share of sales for the 12 weeks ending November 25 drop from seven percent to 1.4 percent. RIM and Android's share drops, taken together, account for all of the gain Apple saw over the 12 week period.
Kantar expects December will see Apple making even further gains as the busy holiday shopping season wraps up. While the iPhone 5 pushed Apple to a dominant position in the US market, chief rival Samsung still holds the top spot in the European market. Kantar has Samsung holding a 44.3 percent share across the "big five" European nations, with Apple taking second place at 25.3 percent.

Bummer Mr. Breeze's predictions for the holiday seasons didn't quite come to pass the way he wanted them to, considering every carrier reported that iPhone represented a majority of their smartPhone sales.
Not only that, but 30% - 50% of those numbers where Android and featurePhone users switching *to* iPhone - how about that?
Relevant quote:
“In particular, 36% of iOS sales were derived from other smartphone users over the last year. While this figure remains stable over time, the proportion of Android users moving towards the Apple brand increases. 19% of iOS sales over the last year were derived from Android users, compared to 9% in 2011,” continues Parlato.
This trend is most evident within Verizon where half (49%) of iOS sales were derived from users of other smartphone brands, and 30% were derived from Android. These figures are much higher compared to AT&T where 15% of iPhone purchasers came from other smartphone users (6% from Android).

iOS Maintains Lead For Last Quarter Of 2012
New York, January 22 – iOS continues to lead as the top selling smartphone platform sold in the U.S, with 51.2% of market sales for the 12 week period ending December 23rd, 2012, according to data released today by Kantar Worldpanel ComTech.
In comparison to the same period last year, Android has remained stable, 44.8% to 44.2%, while Windows remained in third place at 2.6% of smartphones sold in the 12 weeks to December period.
Top carrier rankings remain consistent this period, with AT&T continuing to maintain its lead with 33.3% of smartphones sold in this 12 week period. AT&T has declined slightly, reducing the gap with Verizon whose share remains stable with 32% of smartphones sold. Sprint remains one of the key carriers offering Apple but is seeing little increase in sales share, as the brand continues to decline this period in third place with 14.8% of smartphone sales.
The data is derived from Kantar Worldpanel ComTech USA’s consumer panel, which is the largest continuous consumer research mobile phone panel of its kind in the world, conducting more than 250,000 interviews per year in the U.S. alone. ComTech tracks mobile phone behavior and the customer journey, including purchasing of phones, mobile phone bills/airtime, and source of purchase and phone usage. This data is exclusively focused on the sales within this 12 week period rather than market share figures. Sales shares exemplify more forward focused trends and should represent the market share for these brands in future.
Kantar Worldpanel ComTech analyst Mary-Ann Parlato states, “Apple’s continual improvement is thanks to both the iPhone 5 and older models attracting various customer groups, from repeat Apple buyers, first time smartphone buyers and those coming from other smartphone brands”.
“In particular, 36% of iOS sales were derived from other smartphone users over the last year. While this figure remains stable over time, the proportion of Android users moving towards the Apple brand increases. 19% of iOS sales over the last year were derived from Android users, compared to 9% in 2011,” continues Parlato.
This trend is most evident within Verizon where half (49%) of iOS sales were derived from users of other smartphone brands, and 30% were derived from Android. These figures are much higher compared to AT&T where 15% of iPhone purchasers came from other smartphone users (6% from Android).
While for other customer groups, 35% of iOS sales were those upgrading from a previous iPhone and 30% were those upgrading to their first smartphone.
AT&T continued to utilize their large Apple base with 55% of their iOS sales stemming from these users upgrading to a newer iPhone while 37% of Verizon’s iOS sales were derived from their large featurephone base.

Correct. Worries are on reduced margins due mainly to increasing manufacturing costs (and not weakening sales!). Apple says this is transient and due to the large number of new products it got out last year which induces larger manufacturing costs until processes are stabilised and production fully ramped up. Others fear that different structural factors also play a role.

Not entirely correct. Actual revenue and Wall St's forecast were on a par, give or take a few hundred millions.

Aw, come on, what's facts to the haters....?
Yes, Apple is obviously tanking.
Record-breaking revenue.
Record-breaking profit.
Highest revenue of *ANY* company in the history in the Earth!
Over 75 million iOS devices sold in the quarter.
$137 billion in cash (growing by roughly $4 billion every quarter)
Totally broken.
After reporting record-breaking revenue, profit, and iOS device sales, Apple’s stock is down over 10 percent in after-hours trading (which is often more volatile than regular trading), which makes sense because, uh…, because after hours investors are a bunch of idiots?
For perspective on how much 10 percent of Apple’s market value is:
Apple’s market value has fallen by the combined market value of two Nokias plus two RIMs in the hours since its results came out.
Oh, and by now, Apple's share is back to $514 (yesterday, it was at $504).

So, where are those shrinking sales that koolbreez and the other guy keep predicting? I mean, the demise of Apple sales was predicted for this holiday quarter - yet, what happened?
Of course, at some point in the future these "predictions" of Apple's demise will come true - most likely around the same time end-of-the-world predictions come true -- in about 14 billion years. Hahaha.
------
Both CEO Tim Cook and CFO Peter Oppenheimer took time in today's conference call with analysts to specifically (or by inference) debunk a number of recent rumours about the company, and to suggest to analysts that they rely too heavily on bad information -- and that even when they do get a bit of gossip that turns out to be true, they are unable to see the information in the broader context, which may change its interpretation. It was a rare direct assault on the market-manipulation and other forces that have plagued the company and its stock.
Though Apple barely met expectations on revenue, and squeaked past estimates on EPS, the company nevertheless had an all-time record quarter. In fact, Apple recorded the most profitable year not just in its own history, but in the history of all companies ever. The calendar fourth quarter alone was the fourth most-profitable quarter of all time, and the company is still the most valuable publicly-traded company on earth, even in light of the mysterious after-hours drop in the stock price.
Mac and iPod sales were down from the year-ago quarter, but everything else was up significantly, most importantly the doubling of revenue from what the company calls "greater China" -- the mainland, Taiwan and Hong Kong, now emerging as the second-largest market region Apple competes in. The company also offered record sales of iPhones through the US carriers, so much so that Apple's three iPhone models outsold the 300-plus models of Android-powered smartphones in the US for the second month running.
Analysts, however, continue to sour on AAPL for unclear reasons. They believe that increased competition will hurt the company's market-leading position, though Cook directly addressed this by saying that the company believes that "truly great" products sell themselves, and that Apple is not concerned with "revenue for revenue's sake."

86% of AT&T smartPhone sales were iPhones.
They sold 8.9 million iPhones, and 1.6 million of ALL other smartphones combined, turning Android into an after-thought.
Maybe Mr. Breeze would like to explain how that fits into his prediction of shrinking of how Apple's holiday quarter will see shrinking sales (they nearly doubled) and Android surging to dominance (Android sales continued shrinking) ?
Anyone? Buehler? Tezza? CalEden? Localguy?
