We made this conclusion based on summary statistics of the Liveinternet service on the RuNet. This interesting service allows you to find and analyze various information. Today we will calculate a few more interesting figures: how many Russians bought Apple equipment, what percentage of people in Russia use Android smartphones, and what is the share mobile devices in general in relation to computers today.

So here are the summary usage statistics various devices to visit Runet sites for April 2015.

Liveinternet Statistics

It reflects the number of visits to sites where the LiveInternet counter is installed from various countries, so for calculations for Russia you need to know the share of the Russian audience. Here she is.

Using this data, we can roughly calculate many interesting numbers.

Interesting information about use Russians of the Internet

1. The share of Russians among Runet visitors is 62%. For further calculations we will use direct proportion.
2. To access the Internet Russians use 94 million different mobile and desktop devices(smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktop computers).
3. The total share of mobile devices in everyday life is 53%, if laptops are classified as stationary equipment (no technical feasibility calculate the share of laptops).
4. The share of Internet penetration in Russia in 2015 is still below 50%. It is impossible to give exact data; many users have access to the Internet from work, from their home PC, from their tablets and smartphones.

Now let's talk more about mobile technology.

Market share of iOS and Android in Russia for 2015

As of April 2015, Russians have bought and are using almost 10 million IPhones of various generations. To Apple's share in Russia you can add 3 million iPads and more than 850 thousand Mac computers. In total, about 14 million Apple devices have been sold in Russia.

There are 35 million Android smartphones and tablets in Russia.

Windows Phone— 1.2 million devices. This is less than the number of old smartphones running Symbian - there are still 2 million of them.

Let's repeat, We are talking only about equipment connected to the Internet. But today, most smartphones are connected to it. The exception is a decent proportion of pensioners, whose children and grandchildren buy modern equipment only for making phone calls. As a rule, the share of Apple mobile phone users among this category of the population is small; we can talk about an even larger share of Android.

According to available factual data, out of 51 million mobile devices connected to the Internet, the share of Apple equipment in Russia is about 25%, and smartphones and tablets of various brands are under Android control occupy 69% of the mobile device market.

The calculation may contain errors. For example, poorer Ukraine may actually have a lower share of iPhone users, making it marginally higher in Russia. In general, the data presented quite accurately reflect the state of affairs in the Russian mobile market in 2015.

It is growing in China and Europe. In Russia, the situation is somewhat different.

The situation on the world market

In the first 3 months of 2015 in Germany, England, France, Italy and Spain, sales increased by almost 2%, compared to the same period of the previous year, the difference was 20.3%. According to analysts from Kantar Worldpanel, a third of users made the transition from Android smartphones. Research also states that the increase in popularity was due to the release (as well as its improved versions 6S and 6S Plus).

Analysts' forecasts for 2016

Judging by the forecasts for 2016, in terms of sales it can break the records of 2015. Experts doom the new iPhone 6s and 6s Plus to success. It is predicted that the total number of devices sold worldwide in a year could reach 245 million units.

The Chinese market is predicted to be the best received, as always. Smartphones on the iOS platform have every chance to take first place among all manufacturers in the Middle Kingdom.

The main reason for Apple's popularity in 2015 is said to be almost absolute user satisfaction new iPhone 6s (99%, according to Tim Cook). Tamish Timson, an analyst at Kantar, states that 38 percent of iPhone users have shared their experience and recommended it to friends, which has also led to increased sales. Another reason for its popularity is the expansion of the range. The iPhone 5S has fallen in price and is now in the lower price segment, while the iPhone 6s Plus has quickly become an alternative to other large-screen smartphones.

However, the forecasts of some analysts are not so optimistic. In their opinion, difficult economic processes in the PRC, as the main consumer of Apple products, may affect a significant decrease in demand for this product. Moreover, flagships that are not inferior in quality to devices from Apple are advancing on all fronts, while the cost Xiaomi smartphones and Meizu is more democratic.

Gadget War Android And Apple switch to quality new level. Experts from IDC - a company that provides analytical reports on market conditions information technologies and telecommunications for 50 years, have been predicting a decline in sales of Apple smartphones.

• Windows Phone managed to sell only a little more than 6 million devices or 0.4% by the end of the year.
• Windows Phone OS - 0.3%.

It is worth noting that by 2020 year Android and iOS will occupy almost the entire market, with a total share of 99.8% of sales. At the same time, the share of the “green robot” will account for 85.6% of all production. The “apple giant” will remain on the market for quite a long time, delighting customers with its innovations, but the company will have to make room for a fair amount of space. 2016 is the first year of decline in supplies of Apple products. But no one is going to bury the company.

The report also states: “It is no secret that the Android OS has been and will remain the main platform for the majority of smartphones for the foreseeable future.”

"Hackers are becoming more agile"

The pest program is called Gooligan. It became known that malware infects devices running Android 4 and Android 5 and steals addresses Email, as well as personal data that is stored there.
