Reuters reports that brisk iPhone 5 sales pushed the iPhone's market share over Android's in the 3 months ending October 31. This information was shared at the Kantar World Panel today.
Apple's share of the market has doubled from a year ago to 48.1%. That's very close to the record 49.3% Apple pulled off earlier this year. Android's U.S. share dropped to 46.7% from 63.3% over the same period.
Apple is less dominant in Europe, where Android has a 74% market share in Germany and 82% in Spain. However, iPhone market share in Europe is showing share gains in four major European countries. The iPhone has a 32.7% share in the U.K.
