The latest data shows a notable drop over the last year bringing Apple’s US smartphone market share of new activations back in time six years. CIRP shared its new iPhone report on its Substack this morning. The firm notes that while it believes Apple’s installed smartphone base is higher than the recent share of US smartphone activations, the latter has taken a dive. As shown below, the metric peaked at 40% for Q1 and Q2 in 2023 with Apple seeing a decline to 33% of new smartphone activations in the US as of Q1 2024, says CIRP. That means 2 out of 3 new smartphone activations in the US are Android devices. Per CIRP’s data, Apple hasn’t seen numbers that low since 2017. https://9to5mac.com/2024/04/24/iphone-market-share-new-low-android-dominates/ -- "Truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it." ~ Flannery O'Connor
