Smartphone Battleground

Apple's iPhone sales have been sky rocketing.  A whopping 467.6 million phones are estimated to be sold this year.  This is a 56% increase from last year.  95.8 million of these phones are Apple's iPhone and the iPhone accounts for nearly half of Apple's sales.  However, the largest surge in smartphone growth is due to Android sales rather than Apple.  Android's estimated compounded growth is 43.3% while Apple's is expected to be 28.5%.  Analysts say that Android is ready to grab some of the lower than average selling priced phone segment of the market while Apple is not. 

It's amazing the constant battle of technology and how incredibly high the stakes are for these companies.  It's a never ending battleground with the technology and rules constantly changing.
