iOS remains the top selling smartphone platform sold in the U.S, with 53.3% of the market for the 12 week period ending November 25th, 2012, marking the first time the platform has surpassed 50% sales share, according to data released today by Kantar Worldpanel ComTech.
During the same period, Android sales share declined 10.9 percentage points to 41.9% of the market, while Windows positioned itself at third place with 2.7% of smartphones sold in the November period.
AT&T continues to see success due to the strength of the iPhone 5 and maintains its status as the top selling smartphone carrier with 35.4% of smartphones sold in this 12 week period. Verizon follows in a close second with 31.9% of smartphones sold. Sprint, in third, with 14.5% of sales, sees the largest decrease year on year, down 5 percentage points.
The data is derived from Kantar Worldpanel ComTech USA’s consumer panel, which conducts more than 260,000 interviews per year in the U.S. alone. ComTech tracks mobile phone behavior and the customer journey, including purchasing of phones, mobile phone bills/airtime, and source of purchase and phone usage.
Operating System and Network Shares – Smartphone Sales in the USA
Kantar Worldpanel ComTech analyst Mary-Ann Parlato said in a statement, “The iPhone 5 has been successful this period however we also see that Apple’s older models – the iPhone 4S and 4 have also contributed to the growing share of iOS. This is particularly the case for first-time smartphone iPhone buyers where we see the older models still selling well amongst this group.”
Of those who purchased an iPhone in November, 27% upgraded from another smartphone OS, 34% upgraded from a previous iPhone and, 40% upgraded to their first smartphone.
First-time smartphone buyers upgrading to an iPhone led to iOS becoming Verizon’s top selling OS for the first time. Verizon, who has the largest featurephone user base, saw 44% of their featurephone user base upgrade to an iPhone, compared to 38% of AT&T’s featurephone user base.
On the other hand, AT&T’s original exclusivity with Apple led to half (51.7%) of their iPhone user base upgrading to a newer iPhone – a large difference compared to just 15% among Verizon’s iPhone users who upgraded to an iPhone on Verizon.

We will start to show in December January February stats, our small company purchased about eight of these little guys …..
I’m starting to see lots of iPhone 5s on the wild though I still see plenty of 4S
My wife got a 5 in November, I’ll be upgrading my 4 this summer- it still runs perfect so no reason to upgrade atm. But my company did by a couple iPads to run their credit card transaction on as it was a huge savings to buy the iPad verses the regular credit card machines. And customers love to use it, they think it’s fun.
I’ve been saying this would happen once iPhone was on Verizon AND had LTE. The same thing will happen in Europe and China once iPhone is compatible with those networks as well.
Now what problem do you see here that a great big iPhone would fix?
