But Apple remains the largest manufacturer of smartphones - Samsung is far behind.
A slight increase in the share of Android and iOS was also due to the fall of RIM’s BlackBerry, which, despite this, still managed to stay in third place with a share of 8.1%. Nevertheless, RIM does not represent a serious competition to the first two players, and there is clearly a place in the market for the emergence of a third “force”.

BlackBerry still has chances - somehow it still manages to “come” third in the overall standings. According to Thorsten Heins, CEO of RIM, they have hopes that existing and upcoming devices on BlackBerry 7 will help them stay afloat until they can release devices on BlackBerry 10 next year. .
At the same time, Microsoft has high hopes for the release of Windows Phone 8 this fall, i.e. earlier mega-os from rim.
