iPhone 5 Tops U.S. Smart Phone Sales, Android Leads Elsewhere

The latest smart phone sales data from Kantar Worldpanel ComTech shows that strong uptake of the iPhone 5 over the past 12 weeks ending in October 2012 has boosted iOS back to the number one spot in the U.S. market. 

Apple now has a 48.1 percent share of U.S. smartphone sales compared with Android which has 46.7 percent.

Android leads in other markets, though. In Europe, Android has the lead, accounting for 73.9 percent of sales in Germany and 81.7 percent in Spain.

The majority of US iPhone 5 sales, 62 percent, have come from existing Apple owners upgrading to the new device.
