Apple hits three-year low in smartphone marketshare, shipment figures reveal.

Fresh reports during Q2 2013 have shown smartphones have outsold their less-intelligent feature phones for the second quarter in a row. Strategy Analytics says shipments hit a record-breaking 237.9 million. According to IDC, Samsung managed to ship a total of 72.4 million smartphones during Q2 – a 43.9% boost year over year – with help of the Galaxy S 4 and price cuts to the GS3. To put that in perspective, that’s more than double the 31.2 million iPhones Apple managed to ship, and Strategy Analytics claims this marks a three-year low in Apple’s marketshare. While LG and ZTE each occupy third and fifth place, respectively, Lenovo pushed Huawei out of the number four slot by sending out 11.3 million handsets.

However, I do expect Apple to bounce back with it’s new products and iOS refresh.
