Full FeediPhone captures 46% of the Japan smartphone market
According to recent reports coming from Tokyo-based research company Impress R&D, the iPhone now holds a commanding 46.1% of the mobile smartphone market share in Japan. More specifically, 24.6% of this come from the iPhone 3G while the other 21.5% is thanks to the 3GS model. Considering the amount of advancements in technology and wireless networks coming out of Japan, it’s fascinating to see a phone designed in the West take hold of so much market share. This means the iPhone it is beating out both the Android and the Blackberry in this market.
Part of this success may be due to the intense marketing campaign that SoftBank Mobile—the carrier of the iPhone in Japan—has enacted since its launch. However, I still believe a lot of it is simply how well the iPhone functions. Nonetheless, whatever the cause may be, it’s still fascinating to see the iPhone putting up such large numbers in terms of market share. It’s a great thing Apple decided to release it to so many countries!
