Apple is still the leader in sales of smartphones in the US

The research 

results for the third quarter are not surprising.

The American firm comScore conducted another study of the smartphone market. The trend that has emerged in recent years, continues. A large share of the market was divided between Apple and Samsung. Apple brand leader with an index of 43.6%, the South Korean manufacturer confidently takes the second position with 27.6%. In the third place, LG with an index of 9.4%. Completing the top five leaders of Motorola and HTC with 4.8% and 3.3%, respectively.

The study argues that almost all the market leaders in the reporting period showed decline in the main indicators. This is due to the expectation of "hot" autumn new products, interest in which is heated all summer. It stands out from the competition by LG, which has managed to increase sales in the summer.

ComScore analysts separately led the statistics in the context of operating systems. Here, too, all fairly predictable. Android on top with 52,3%, iOS with 43.6% remained the second. Windows Phone and BlackBerry OS collect crumbs in the form of 2.9% and 1.2%. Top cross-platform applications for the third quarter is as follows: Facebook, YouTube, and Facebook Messenger.
