Study: iPhone 6 dominated the US smartphone market

iPhone 6 and 6 Plus seem to have beaten strongly established in the United States. In the second quarter 2015, Apple's smartphone sold better than all competitors put together, such as a market study by Canaccord Genuity demonstrated.

Almost fifty percent market share comes the iPhone 6 to present. Thus, the situation has remained fairly stable since the end of 2014 - and despite the introduction of new models from LG, HTC and Samsung, which all rely on Android systems, wrote Michael Walkley of Canaccord Genuity.

Offensive affected trend, but so far only Android

However, the market researchers also bring a melancholy character on the way: your forecast the total number of 2015 shipped worldwide smartphone they corrected from 1.45 to 1.39 billion units. This trend should - to the benefit of Apple - Android really only be concerned.

The demand for the new iPhone seems to remain convincingly solid. On the one hand have changed saddles in the US on the current iPhone 6 to March, although only 20 percent of all iPhone owners, on the other hand remains by the remaining 80 percent still plenty of potential for new sales, so Walkley.

Trembling the androids already?

Apple currently scratching also quite successful at the Android-based. More and more users of the Google system to be saddled on iOS. This trend was not as strong in the time to watch the older iPhones.

Canaccord is also still out buy recommendations for the Apple stock. Up to a price of $ 160 could be accessed, the experts say. Currently the share is under $ 124.

Already the next iPhone in September in view

The industry insiders certainly have the possibility the next product upgrade in view. For September, a new iPhone is expected again. But the improvements are not to be as serious as between iPhone 5s and iPhone 6. The 6s will probably get a better chip, more memory and support for Force Touch, Apple's new technology for tactile feedback that is to be installed in the iPhone to display , ( via )
