“Apple still rules the mobile enterprise space and is extending its lead,” Emil Protalinski reports for VentureBeat. “iOS gained another 4 percentage points, growing to 73 percent of total device activations in Q4 2014. Android device activations, meanwhile, dropped the same amount to 25 percent of total activations last quarter.”
“In Q3 2014, Apple reversed its trend of declining quarterly enterprise share for device activations, thanks to the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, a growth that continued in Q4,” Protalinski reports. “This makes sense, as Q4 is traditionally the company’s best iPhone quarter thanks to the holiday shopping season. While the iPhone 6 continued to be more popular than the iPhone 6 Plus, the breakdown slightly shifted towards the latter: In Q3, the breakdown was 85 percent for iPhone 6 and 15 percent for iPhone 6 Plus, while in Q4, it was 77 percent for iPhone 6 and 23 percent for iPhone 6 Plus.”
