According to a report by the Internation Data Corporation (IDC) Android growth is still going strong with our favourite OS making up a 30% share of the Australian Mobile OS Market in the first quarter of this year. Apple’s iOS took the lead at 40%, though the growth of Android is expected to overtake iOS by the end of the year — it may have happened already; we’ll find out in the next report.
Going by the IDC’s report earlier this year which stated that 12.74 million phones were sold in Australia last year, and 57% of those were smartphones, that leaves ~7,261,800. 30% of that is just under 2.2 million. That’s extremely, extremely rough estimates off of 6 month old+ data, but it does give you a very rough idea of just how many Android devices are floating around this great land of ours.
