Android was top with 144.7m smartphones sold, for a 69.7% market share. iOS ranks second with 43.5m iPhones and a 20.9% share. Gartner has BlackBerry in third place (7.3m sales / 3.5% share) and Windows Phone in fourth (6.2m / 3%) but with the former falling considerably year-on-year, and the latter growing.
“2013 will be the year of the rise of the third ecosystem as the battle between the new BlackBerry 10 and Windows Phone intensifies,” predicts Gartner.
