Apple grabs 31.3% sales in the U.S. while Android sales drop
In the U.S., Apple has managed to grab 31.3% smartphone sales.
Apple's iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 6s were the three most popular smartphones in the US at the beginning of the three-month holiday period last year, making a combined share of 31.3 per cent, media reported.
At 55.3 per cent of all smartphone sales, down from 60.4 per cent in the same period last year, the holiday period marked the sixth consecutive period of decline for Android devices in the US market, Digital Trends reported on Wednesday, quoting data collected by consumer research firm Kantar Worldpanel.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge were the fourth and fifth best-selling phones in the US, with Samsung capturing 28.9 per cent of smartphone sales.
In the US, iOS grew 6.4 percent in the same three-month period, rising to a 43.5 percent share of the market.
Although Android decreased in the US, Google Pixel recorded 1.3 per cent of sales in the three months ending November 2016, with more than half of that business done through Verizon.
"Both Android and iOS increased their presence across France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Great Britain, "largely due to the decline of Windows," the Kantar report said.
Apple reportedly shipped 207 million iPhones in 2016, down from 236 million in 2015.
