       Apple Is Top U.S. Smartphone Maker To Start 2013 As Android
       Loses Marketshare To iOS
       In the competition between iOS and Android,Google’s Android
       operating system has been growing in U.S. much faster than iOS
       untilnow. For the first time, Android actually lost some of its
       U.S. marketshare in 2013 while iOS gained a few points.
       comScore just released its report on the U.S. smartphone market
       and had some very encouraging news for Apple. While most other
       manufacturers are slumping, Apple is increasing its lead on
       Samsung, HTC, Motorola and LG in the U.S.
       The top smartphone OEMs as of January 2013are Apple, Samsung,
       HTC,Motorola and LG, in that order. While Apple improved its
       share of the U.S. smartphone market from 34.3% to 37.8%, HTC and
       Motorola both lost marketshare. LG gained a modest 0.3% of
       marketshare likely in part to the Nexus 4.
       Even though Samsung gained 1.9 points more ofthe U.S. smartphone
       market, it wasn’t enough to keep Android’s numbers up. Google’s
       Android platform still commands 52.3% of the U.S. smartphone
       platforms, but it dropped from the 53.6% marketshare it had last
       year. iOS jumped up to 37.8% from 34.3% so it looks like Apple
       will continue to gain on Android this quarter, thanks to the
       iPhone 5.
