Apple trims Android?s U.S. smartphone lead as Verizon sells most iPhones

apple-kantar-smartphones-us

Apple is making a slight dent in Android?s lead among U.S. smartphone owners, picking up more than three percentage points of market share at the end of the June 2013 quarter. By comparison, Google?s mobile software slipped a bit, giving up almost one percent, according to new research.

By the end of the June quarter, Apple?s iOS had 42.5 percent of the U.S. smartphone market, up from 39.2 percent a year earlier. By contrast, Android fell to 51.5 percent from 52.6 percent during the same period, according to research firm Kantar Monday?

Perhaps the most interesting bit is the per-carrier breakdown of iPhone vs. Android sales.?According to Kantar?- and?based on 240,000 interviews per year with mobile phone users ? Verizon remains Apple?s best source for carrier sales of the iPhone, registering forty percent of its U.S. iPhone sales.

This is interesting because you?ll remember Verizon has said it has had trouble meeting its iPhone sales promise, potentially owing Apple $14 billion for unsold handsets.

Long-time iPhone carrier AT&T sold just a hair fewer iPhones, registering 39 percent of Apple sales during the quarter ended June. Sprint and T-Mobile rounded out the U.S. iPhone carriers, selling ten percent and eight percent, respectively.

As for Android, it sold 35 percent of devices on the Verizon network, seventeen percent on Sprint, sixteen percent on AT&T and thirteen percent on T-Mobile.

Kantar noted that U.S. women and featurephone owners upgrading to smartphones were a large portion of Verizon?s iOS sales.

When looking at the consumers purchasing from Verizon currently, we see a lot more females and those upgrading from a feature phone to an iOS device compared to other carriers.

Microsoft gained some much-needed good news, its Windows Phone?capturing four percent of the U.S. smartphone sales, up from 2.9 percent a year earlier, according to Kantar.

Although Verizon also lead other U.S. carriers in Android handset sales, Sprint had the second-largest percentage of smartphones in the U.S. powered by Google?s software, at seventeen percent.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) ? If Michael Phelps is planning a comeback, it's on hold for now.

The most decorated Olympian in history was wearing a large boot cast on his right ankle and foot. He was limping Sunday at a sponsor's appearance at the world championships.

Phelps told some officials that he recently got hurt playing golf, apparently when he stepped in a hole.

Phelps' agent did not immediately return a request for comment.

Phelps retired from swimming after last year's London Olympics with a record 22 career medals.

There has been speculation he's considering a return for the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games.

Chris Christie-Rand Paul tiff on foreign policy reflects deep rift in GOP

In Congress, the divide between Team Christie and a more libertarian Team Paul was on display in the debate over the Amash amendment that sought to de-fund the NSA surveillance program.

The foreign policy tussle between Chris Christie and Rand Paul, two likely 2016 Republican presidential contenders, marks the most public flaring of a long-simmering debate between the GOP?s long-time hawkish bent and the libertarian infusion the party has experienced in the last two election cycles.

'; } else if (google_ads.length > 1) { ad_unit += ''; } } document.getElementById("ad_unit").innerHTML += ad_unit; google_adnum += google_ads.length; return; } var google_adnum = 0; google_ad_client = "pub-6743622525202572"; google_ad_output = 'js'; google_max_num_ads = '1'; google_feedback = "on"; google_ad_type = "text"; // google_adtest = "on"; google_image_size = '230x105'; google_skip = '0'; // -->

When push comes to shove, do Republicans weigh in on the side of national security and foreign intervention or of privacy and greater international detachment? And which path will help grow a political party that even some of its leaders fear faces deep demographic challenges?

Of course, both Senator Paul (R) of Kentucky and New Jersey Governor Christie would argue their path does all those things ? they just strongly disagree about how to proceed.

?This strain of libertarianism that?s going through parties right now and making big headlines I think is a very dangerous thought,? Christie said on a panel in Aspen, Colo. on Thursday, according to the New York Times.

Later, he continued: ?The next attack that comes, that kills thousands of Americans as a result, people are going to be looking back on the people having this intellectual debate and wondering whether they put ?? before abruptly ending his thought.

In a Facebook post, Paul, who most famously launched an hours-long filibuster over domestic US drone use and who has pushed to cut off foreign aid to many restive Middle East nations, rejoined that ?Chris Christie thinks freedom is dangerous. What's dangerous is a foreign policy that borrows from China to pay people who burn our flag in Egypt.?

Paul?s political Facebook page was less restrained, calling Christie ?Obama?s favorite Republican? and wondering if the governor approves of sending weapons to ?al Qaeda allies? in Syria.

While the tiff is a spot of positioning between two presidential contenders at either end of a particular policy debate, it?s also an argument that reverberates deep down into the Republican Party.

In Congress, there?s a stark divide between Team Christie and Team Paul.

Rep. Peter King (R) of New York, a former chairman of the Homeland Security Committee and a veteran foreign policy hawk, said he ?isn?t saying no? to a potential presidential run in part because ?when I see people like Rand Paul talking about drones killing people out to get a cup of coffee, I don't want that to be the face of the national Republican Party," he told The Hill.

But the reason Congressman King, a 20-year House veteran, has found himself back in the congressional majority is because of a surge of more Paul-minded reinforcements like Rep. Raul Labrador (R) of Idaho. And those folks want more Rand, not less.
