Apple uses iPhone 7 to grow smartphone share in Australia: IDC
IDC has reported that the Australian mobile phone market declined for the sixth consecutive quarter, shipping 2.06 million phones during the third quarter of 2016, 8.2 percent fewer than the 2.2 million shipped in the same period last year -- although higher than last quarter's 1.8 million shipments.Apple's Australian market share grew from 40.41 percent last quarter to 46.42 percent this quarter, thanks to the launch of the iPhone 7; however, this represented a year-on-year gain of just 1.23 percent due to the saturation of the Australian market."As the market matures, incremental innovation will not be enough to drive positive results, as consumers believe the added features do not warrant an upgrade, especially in the high-priced segment," IDC Australia market analyst Bilal Javed said.
