Where is Mark Crispin? Didn't he say the iPhone was going to fail in
Japan a few years back? oops!
iPhone is really, really big in Japan --- March 12, 2012
S-T-A-R thatąs what you are, ącause youąre big in Japan. Yeah, youąre
big in Japan. Whereas Appleąs smartphone is the number one smartphone is
all sorts of markets, the device that changed and just keeps changing
the world is the number one phone of any kind in the Land of the Rising
Sun, accounting for more than a quarter of handsets sold ‹ wow, thereąs
big and then thereąs Apple big in Japan.
Tokyoąs Mainichi Daily News, quoting numbers from IDC Japan, reports
that the iPhone accounted for a whopping 26.6 percent of all mobile
phones sold in that country. Perhaps the most telling stat is the fact
that smartphones already account for 64.7 percent of all handset sales,
which underscores the iPhoneąs impact in Japan.
Leading the also ran pack were Fujitsu and Sharp in the number two and
three spots, respectively. Interestingly, neither of those companies
have much if any impact here in the Land of Milk and Honey Nut Cheerios
where smarpthone penetration is just North of 50 percent.
The iPhoneąs ongoing conquest marks the first time a non-Japanese vendor
hit number. Apple reclaimed the number one smartphone spot from Android
in the US late last year.
Last quarter, according to CEO Tim Cook, Apple had a pretty decent
quarter with iPhone sales up more than 120 percent with Asia in general
and China in particular driving much of that growth.
