Today, although Apple and Samsung are still the undisputed leaders in the smartphone market, the overall number of phones that each manufacturer currently has on the market has dropped. Currently on the U.S. smartphone market: - #Apple has 80.4 million (46%) - #Samsung has 60.1 million (34%) - #LG has 20.5 million (12%) 🚀@PerspectiveIX via VertoAnalytics. ❓Which smartphone brand do you mainly use?

​​⌚️Apple vs Samsung: The Smart Watch Edition Based on IDC estimates, #Samsung has a lot of ground to make up if it wants to challenge #Apple’s dominant position in the #smartwatch market. In 2017, the Cupertino-based company shipped 17.7 million watches compared to Samsung’s 3.6 million. 🚀@PerspectiveIX 📖 via Statista: prs.pctvix.co/2Ou1tfC ❓ Do you own a smartwatch?
