According to the latest data from Kantar Worldpanel, Android continues to gain market share in the U.S., pulling away from iOS significantly as of the end of May 2014.
Android now has a dominant 61.9 percent of the U.S. market, ahead of Apple at 32.5 percent. The new level is a low for Apple, reaching a number not seen since before the iPhone 4s' launch in 2011.
Windows Phone continued its extremely slow growth, and now controls 3.8 percent of the market. BlackBerry has almost completely played itself out of the market, now at 1.3 percent. All other operating systems accounted for 0.6 percent share.
Outside of the U.S., Android's share is much higher, averaging over 85 percent in places like China, Brazil and Mexico, and over 75 percent in Italy and France. The only place in which iOS still has the lead is Japan, where Android controls 47 percent share of the nation.
