A new study from market research firm Consumer Intelligence Research Partners has news for Apple regarding the recent launch of the iPhone 5s. The bad news is that fewer new iPhone buyers in the U.S. came from different platforms. This resulted in a smaller percentage of new business for Apple. ”Ideally, Apple attracts a significant percent of its customers from Android and other systems,” CIRP partner and co-founder Mike Levin said. “At the most recent launch, though, Apple saw an increase in the share of customers that already had an iPhone.”
The good news, however, is that Levin believes a large reason for this decline is that fewer mobile phone users own simple, basic cell phones now. Supporting his theory, more Android users switched to iPhones this year than ever before.
From this article, I gathered that Apple appears to be losing new converts in the U.S., but previous users still remain loyal. I think it is inevitable that Apple will someday dominate the smartphone industry.
