second with 18.7% while 5.7% share of IOS master. Windows Phone was in fourth
place with a share of 1.2% while the BlackBerry is only 0.1%.
Android

advantage of the existence of such low-cost handsets from Samsung, HTC, and
Huawei. High prices lead to Apple's iPhone is hard to target the medium class
market and lower classes, according to the Fool.
Another
factor that makes the new iPhone less attractive is the concept mianzi. Mianzi
means reputation or face, which sees the iPhone as a status symbol that
increases a person's reputation. However, because the iPhone 4S looks the same
as the iPhone 4, it was thought the new product will not increase the authority
