iPhone is the most popular phone in America

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 23 Dec 2009 6:55 User comments (6)

iPhone is the most popular phone in America According to recent Nielsen figures reported by MobileCrunch, the Apple iPhone 3G is now the most popular phone in the United States, despite RIM having about double the market share.
The numbers shows the Apple iPhone 3G/3GS at 4 percent, with the Blackerry 8300 series in a close second at 3.7 percent.

Somewhat surprising is the high ranking of the RAZR (the full line) in third at 2.3 percent.

The RAZR came in third? Surprise, surprise! Mine was a POS ever since I got it. My dad only got it cause it was free w/contract, and it was sub-par with the features it had on it. - BLUEBOY

In my opinion, the results are biased, Apple only has 1 phone, while you can see that most of the phones on the list are from LG and Blackberry... I think the results are unfair.

Agree. I really doubt that 4% of mobile phones in the US are iPhones...I think they should publish their source numbers to back up a claim like that...

I don't think that it would be a good idea since it will prove that by far more than 4% of americans own an Iphone.

How can u compare the one phone against all the models of one particular manufacturer?

Review: Roborock Saros Z70 - robot vacuum with an arm Review: Roborock Saros Z70 - robot vacuum with an arm
In out in-depth review of Roborock Saros Z70 we put the robot vacuum through a 3 month test period, where we observed its work in normal home. The sci-fi -like arm of Z70 was a little bit disappointing, due its limited functionality.
Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect
We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing.

Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra review - obstacle avoidance doesn't work as it should, otherwise almost perfect robot vacuum Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra review - obstacle avoidance doesn't work as it should, otherwise almost perfect robot vacuum
We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
