Market researchers Kantar Worldpanel have published their Q3 2016 report detailing smartphone buying trends.
The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus lead the way in the US, commanding a 17.1% market share for the month of September, with the 6s generation coming in second. All that leads to an iOS share of 34.2% in the US for Q3, up 5 percentage points from last year's result. Meanwhile, Samsung posted a 4.1pp decline year-on-year, now down to 33.8% share, with Android down to 63.4% altogether (compared to 66.7% for Q3 2015).

It sold 10.8m in Q3 2015 not 2016 according to Strategic Analytics, only 7.5m. That is a massive fall of 31% made much worse by the fact the market in China grew by 15%. By anybody's standards that is not dominating the market, but a major downturn.
