comScore Shows Nothing New, But Doesn’t Yet Factor In iPhone 5

This comScore is over a 3 month period ending in August, which is before the iPhone 5 launch, so they are a little irrelevant at the moment. Still, the numbers show the state of the phone ecosystem a month ago. As you can imagine, Google is in first place with a growth of 1.7%, up to 52.6%. Apple had a 2.4% growth up to 34.3%. RIM dropped another 3.1% to 8.3%, and surprisingly, Microsoft dropped 0.4% to a tiny 3.6%.

The most interesting scores will be 3 months from now, showing Apple’s growth post iPhone 5 launch. That’s what I’m interested in seeing. Do you think that Apple will have huge growth? Or will it not be significant? Tell us in the comments!

Definitely there are issues regarding the new iPhone 5 but I believe that they are going to solve this and perfect their product in time. The potential customers of iPhone 5 together with those that bought one already should be glad that they have the product now to enjoy.

I'm sure there will be an increase in market share for Apple post iphone5, but it may not be as large as some might have predicted/expected.  Based on my personal experience, 70% of my family and friends that were planning on getting an Iphone 5 before the announcement have changed their minds and are staying with their iphone 4 or 4S.  They all say there is not enough change from Iphone 4/4S to 5 to justify the cost and extended contracts.

I'm sure there will be some massive jumping in the numbers, but we're also not factoring in the GSIII sales post iPhone 5 announcement... and then there was the problem with Apple Maps and some sort of data leakage issue, which might have made some potential iPhone 5 customers think twice. Though that won't change some of the market share that Apple will grab back. At least until the Note II drops.
