According to the figures released by IDC, the global number of smartphone shipments have gone up 51.3% from 156.2 million units in Q2 2012 to 236.4 million in Q2 2013. Android platform has indeed been one of the most golden stage of development, with players like LG, Samsung , HTC and many more to be named in. However in the Android platform, the pack is once again leaded by Samsung followed by LG and so on.

Although Apple’s share in the markets have fallen drastically, it may be recalled that it was so because of no new device launch after iPhone 5 back last year. So we may see a boost in the shares if the rumored iPhone 5S and the new Apple platform, most probably iOS 8 which will  certainly make a change in the position of the company.
