Uh Oh: iPhone Market Share Slips

By Casey Chan, Tuesday, Jun 3, 2008 a 9:00 am

After claiming 27% of US smartphone market share in the last quarter of 2007, the iPhone has slipped to 20% for the first quarter of 2008. Where have all the iPhone buyers gone? Apparently to RIM and Palm (why!) who saw their market share increase in the same period. For Palm, the gains can be credited to the rise in popularity of the Centro and for RIM, well no one doubts their powerhouse status around these parts.

We've heard it before, Google has an iPhone fixation. Well it's looking like that fixation works both ways - apparently the earlier numbers we saw that said the iPhone was on the web more than any other mobile web browser were, how shall we say it? ....Ridiculously conservative.

iPhone Marketshare Climbing Fast

That puts it at #2 in the US and #3 worldwide. They're even ahead of Motorola.

Highlights from a report from a report by Strategy Analytics:

iPhone tops AT&T sales chart at 13% of AT&T's device sales
4th best-selling phone in U.S., selling 1.1 million units. Total # of iPhones sold: maybe 1.325 million
based on current trajectory, iPhone will be #1 best-selling phone in the next quarter or two
current #1 is still the RAZR V3
two age segments standing out that are purchasing iPhone in droves: 20-30 and 50-60.

Having owned a RAZR and been frustrated with the poor software shipped on it, I will do a little dance when it's no longer #1.

iPhone Owners: Likely Once Treo Owners

figure 1: The Orange Treo 680 is what I used before I got an iPhone. This and a featurephone, actually, for when I wanted to take a non-useless picture of something. I used both AT&T and T-Mobile.

p>Let me put on my Carnac the Magnificent hat and guess that you were on T-Mobile too. There's an interesting survey report done by the NPD group recently that caught my eye, specifically because it names Treos. I still have love for Treos, but I'm off the wagon in terms of using one regularly at least until their Linux OS ships. But here are the fact nuggets that they report:
