Certainly, to deem one’s progress and keep a check on performance movements, reports and statistics emerge as a great medium to estimate. According to Engadget, iPhone has clinched 46 percent of the Japanese smartphone market. Ascending in terms of achievement, the grab of such proportion by iPhone undeniably marks an achievement for Apple.
Seemingly, the only aspect that stifles such headway to a slight extent is that the smartphone market in Japan isn’t that large-scale, as the mobile phones arena is preponderated by mobile phone lineups from carriers that have a whole range of different offerings ranging from mobile TV, perfume holders and all other stuffs spotted in Japan.
Reportedly, if glance over the phone vendors’ market share in Japan, then giants such as Sharp, Panasonic, Fujitsu and NEC sum up for a 72.8 percent market share. While Apple is lumped up in the ‘others’ group which aggregates to 22.6 percent market share.
For now, iPhone’s stand in the Japanese market is anticipated to upsurge in the long term as well.
