Apple first in America and Samsung dominate the Chinese market

Can not say that the field of competition only between each of the American company (Apple) and the Korean company (Samsung) is the field of patents, which reached the two companies to the squares elimination again and again, but remain global markets Square real conflict between Alamlaqaan, in this regard come up with new numbers to confirm that Apple's control over the U.S. market and Samsung issued for sales in the Chinese market.

According to a study conducted by the company ( comScore ) and is a company specializing in marketing research where the provision of data and marketing services for many of the largest Internet companies in the world, Apple is the first plant of smartphones in the United States الأمركية through last September, where the percentage of sales of 40.6 percent U.S. market share, followed by Samsung in second place with 24.9 percent and then HTC Taiwanese Pencah the 7.1 and both Motorola and LG in mattresses Alahakh.

However, the success of Apple's smartphones level not matched by similar success at the level of the following operating systems where a solution Android phones in the first place with 51.8 percent, followed by operating system (Apple) iOS 40.6 percent, a figure which probably reflects the technical problems suffered by the Apple's new operating system iOS7 shortly after his release to the market.

On the other hand, according to a report issued by the Center for the Study ( Canalys ), the Samsung dominate the Chinese market, leaders Booze even local Chinese companies as Lenovo.

The report indicates that sales of smart phones for Samsung comes at the forefront of smart phone sales in China rose 21 percent in Althelt Aiit of the current year 2013, up an estimated 56 percent from the same period last year due Malk by specialists to the good reputation enjoyed by products Samsung generally (screens, smart phones, Tablet PCs). While the Chinese company Lenovo not only get on the proportion of only 13 percent share of the Chinese market, which is a great result for Samsung that we know that the Chinese market, accounting for almost 40 percent of the global market and sold more than 100 million smart phone.

The (Apple) has increased by 32 percent, but still below the level of Samsung and Lenovo.

Apple Adjusts ‘App Resurrection’ Policy, Will Allow Developers To Restrict Versions Offered

Earlier this week, we noted that Apple’s new policy of automatically serving up old versions of apps to users was good for the downloader, but not so great for the developer. Today, Apple has adjusted its policy and will allow developers to choose not to offer old versions.

Apple made the announcement on its news site for developers (emphasis ours):

Previous versions of your apps are now available for re‑download by users who have already purchased them, allowing customers to use your apps with older devices which may no longer be supported by the current version of your app. If you do not wish to make these versions available, you can manage the availability of your apps’ previous versions in the Rights and Pricing section of the Manage Your Apps module in iTunes Connect

The “app resurrection” feature is a seamless option that Apple enabled on its App Store this week that allowed users to automatically download editions of apps that work on older iOS versions. This way, if a developer began only supporting iOS 7, a user on iOS 6 could grab the “last known good” version of the app that ran on their device. This was a nice addition that should serve users of old iPhones and iPods well.

However, in our report, we described the issues that could pop up because the feature was opaque to developers:

To give you a brief example, any old version of Your Favorite Twitter Client that hasn’t been updated to work with the new v1.1 API will be very buggy or broken completely if you try to download it on an old version of iOS.

Sources in the developer community have confirmed to us that there is no option available in Apple’s iTunes Connect dashboard that allows a developer to see which version of their apps are being served to which iOS versions. That opacity alone has the potential to confuse customer support issues, as old versions of the app may very well contain bugs or issues that have gone un-addressed as developers move on to the latest versions of iOS.

But there is also no way for developers to re-upload old versions of the apps with those issues fixed. Simply put, a user on an old version of iOS could download an app with issues that are impossible for a developer to ever fix. You can see the nightmare scenario that is cropping up in many developer’s minds here.

Now, it seems that Apple has either listened to the developers that have been worried about the feature, or revealed more support options around it. At the time of our original report, we had heard that there were no provisions in place or planned to allow developers any control. So this is welcome news.

The ability to restrict the versions of the apps that are available to download automatically via this feature is definitely a great addition. The one other possibility we had mentioned would be to allow developers to “fix” the bugs and issues that could make those old versions work well again and re-upload them. That does not appear to be a part of this adjustment from Apple.

This should go a long way toward alleviating fears from developers that old, broken versions of their apps would get downloaded, opening the door for unhappy users to leave bad reviews based on those old apps.

Before & After iOS 7: How Your Favorite Apps Are Changing

Flat. With one word Apple didn’t just change its look on mobile, but mandated an industry-wide face-lift. For iOS 7′s launch later today, chrome, navigation buttons, and textured title bars are getting replaced with more content, gesture-controlled navigation, and single-colored panels. Here’s a before and after look at the redesigns rolled out to some of the top third-party iOS apps, along with our analysis and thoughts from developers.

“We redesigned to focus on the content over the chrome — what the writer intends to convey and not the UI” says Quora‘s Marc Bodnick about the question-and-answer app’s makeover. The startup rebuilt Quora 3.0 for iPhone from the ground up in three months, and says it will be available for iPad and iPad mini by the end of the year.

It’s not just the look that’s changing for many apps, but the feel. In iOS 6 and before, you’d often find yourself diving deeper and deeper through layers of navigation to get to a specific piece of content. To escape and access another part of the app, you’d have to click the back button over and over.

Now many apps are moving towards a swipe-based interface, where different app features exist on parallel screens you can horizontally flip through with a flick of the thumb. For example, on Quora you can now swipe between different feeds like Top Stories and Questions & Answers.

You can tell which pane you’re on and that there are others available thanks to a little title and set of dots at the top of the screen where the search box used to be. Instead, you’ll access that and everything that was previously housed in a row of navigation buttons at the bottom in a slide-out navigation drawer reminiscent of Facebook’s iOS app. Removing those buttons frees up more space for reading about whether it’s feasible to be Batman and other Q&A content. Other apps are taking the same navigation approach.

Quora 3.0 feels like thumbdancing — graceful rather than bumping into things in the dark. Definitely a more pleasurable browsing experience. I think we’ll find a lot of iOS 7 apps give off that vibe.

It won’t be all good, though. In the rush to update in time for the new operating system’s launch, some developers have gotten a bit heavy-handed with the flatness. With so little chrome, pieces of content can accidentally blend into each other. Less experienced mobile users like senior citizens might feel a bit lost without the skeumorphic cues to guide them towards what to tap or touch. If developers don’t put in clues, some people might miss buttons or those parallel hidden planes of apps because they didn’t know they were there.

But many developers felt they had to be ready for the iOS 7 launch. Quora’s Bodnick tells me Quora didn’t have the benefit of being around in the early days of the App Store and has been playing catching up ever since. With iOS 7, though, he says “We’re going on the offense. We’re going to be among the first apps on iOS 7.”

Apparently a lot of developers had the same idea, which might negate any serious advantage being available day 1 will have. And that really underlines the next problem Apple needs to solve. Now it’s got a modernly-designed OS that supports beautiful apps, but how do you find those apps when there’s nearly a million of them in the store?

Well, here’s a look at some of the top apps that got an overhaul today, with before iOS 7 shots on the left and after iOS 7 shots on the right courtesy of developer portfolio site Tapfame:

Instapaper, the read-it-later app, has scrubbed its title bar clear of texture, and eliminated much of the chrome so it just feels like a floating list of stories.

Venmo, the peer-to-peer payments app, has dropped its side bars and stripped down its buttons.

Foursquare has ditched its tan background to make room for larger content entries, a clear example of the content > chrome trend

Salesforce Chatter, the enterprise communication app, has made space for its feed by switching from navigation buttons to a drawer, similar to Quora.

Hipmunk‘s flight search app has been completely flattened, removing the shading and depth from its navigation chrome to match iOS 7.

We’ll be adding more examples of how iOS 7 has changed apps as the day goes on, and add your 

favorites (that you didn’t build) in the comments.

Cheaper iPhone Will Cost More in China

SAN FRANCISCO — With the introduction of a cheaper iPhone on Tuesday, Apple took a step company’s future.toward catering to China, the world’s largest smartphone market and one that is crucial to the 

But the cost of the phone — more than $700 in China — will still keep Apple’s phones beyond the reach of most Chinese consumers. And that predicament only underscores what has become increasingly clear in recent months: that Apple’s fortunes in China largely depend not on any phone, but on reaching a deal with China Mobile, the country’s largest cellphone carrier.

On Wednesday, Apple took another step in that partnership, when the Chinese government said that Apple’s phones could run on China Mobile’s new cell network, essentially paving the way for a deal between the companies.

An agreement would instantly give Apple access to China Mobile’s 700 million customers, and reaching it might require Apple to bend on price. China Mobile has been holding out on a deal for years, and it is now positioned to ask for better terms with Apple.

“The only way they’ll have a significantly better time in China over the next 12 months is if they can sign China Mobile,” said Jan Dawson, a telecom analyst for Ovum. “A small percentage would be a large number of new customers for Apple. So it’s even more crucial now that Apple gets that deal done.”

Apple has recently pursued an aggressive strategy for China. For the first time, Apple’s new phones will be released in China at the same time as they are in the United States. Analysts say the new gold color being offered for the higher-end iPhone 5S was probably designed for wealthy Chinese who enjoy flashing smartphones the same way they show off jewelry. And Apple has tailored some software features of its products for the Chinese, including easier setup for Chinese e-mail services.

China’s cellphone market is growing quickly, surpassing the American market last year. But so far, most Chinese consumers are gravitating toward cheap Android smartphones that can be bought for as little as $100 at full price from handset makers like Xiaomi, Huawei and ZTE.

Apple has been left as No. 6 in the Chinese market, and sales of its products in the country were down 4 percent in the second quarter compared with the same period last year. Though Apple is still enormously successful, its profit growth has slowed and its stock price has struggled. On Wednesday, the company’s shares fell more than 5 percent.

In exchange for adding Apple to its lineup, China Mobile may demand that Apple help subsidize the cost of the iPhones. It might ask for a better cut of each iPhone sale. Or it could just ask for a more lax contract, in which it can reduce the prices of the phones. In the United States and some European markets, Apple has forbidden carriers from discounting the price of the iPhone.

“With every passing month, China Mobile is getting stronger and Apple is getting weaker,” said Tero Kuittinen, a mobile analyst for Alekstra. “We have a moment where all of the cards are in China Mobile’s hands.”

When the new iPhones, the 5C and 5S, are released on Sept. 20, they will be available through two other Chinese mobile carriers, China Unicom and China Telecom, which together have more than 400 million subscribers.

Apple said on its Web site that the iPhone 5C, the cheaper model, would start at 4,488 renminbi, or $733, without subsidies from mobile operators. The new flagship iPhone 5S will start at 5,288 renminbi, or $864. That price is more than one-third higher in China than the $550 unsubsidized cost for the iPhone 5S in the United States.

Apple products have always been more expensive in China than in the United States — even though iPhones are actually assembled in China. That is because iPhones sold in China are subject to a 17 percent value-added tax, while those that are exported can be sent abroad tax-free.

The cost in mainland China is also higher than it is in Hong Kong, where there is no value-added tax or sales tax. There, Apple announced a price of 4,688 Hong Kong dollars, or $604, for the iPhone 5C.

Yet even with that 17 percent factored in, Apple appears to be marking up the iPhone 5C substantially in China, potentially giving the company room to maneuver later. Chinese carriers do not generally subsidize the handset price for consumers, but they often discount their monthly bills. So the eventual cost to consumers has plenty of room to come down.

Some analysts said Apple might have announced a high initial price in China to justify eventual price cuts. If an agreement with China Mobile were to come soon, Apple could then reap a marketing benefit by cutting prices just as it gained access to a vast new consumer base.

Ben Bajarin, a technology analyst for Creative Strategies, a consulting firm, said it was possible that China Mobile could trim the cost of the iPhone 5C and use the device to lure customers into paying for more expensive smartphone plans.

“That’s the one thing the iPhone’s been remarkably good at,” he said, “is driving value to the premium data service.”

Apple Falls Behind Samsung In Global Internet Usage On Smartphones, Pointing To A Low-Cost iPhone Challenge

StatCounter — the research group that tracks Internet usage by browser, platform and device, among other things — has released some numbers that indicate that while Apple continues to keep its traditional lead as the most-popular brand for mobile Internet browsing in certain markets, globally, Samsung is now leading the pack — not just because it comes in first in markets like Western Europe and South America, but also because of its strong showing even in markets where Apple is ahead.

The news comes as many accounts point to Apple working on a new, less-expensive version of the iPhone, which could be announced at the company’s big event tomorrow. Some believe a cheaper iPHone will be used to gain more headway among more price-sensitive consumers — both in the U.S. and emerging markets like China — who have shied away from its flagship iPhone models because of high prices.

If true, it could not come a moment too soon. StatCounter notes that in the month of August, Samsung worldwide accounted for 26.59% of Internet use on mobile devices, compared to 23.39% for Apple. Interestingly, while Nokia has really taken a nosedive when it comes to recent smartphone sales and is recovering but only slowly, the devices that it does have in use in the market — smartphones as well as feature phones with Internet access — have kept the company in a strong third position. It accounted for 21.66% of mobile Internet traffic in the month of August.

statcounter bar chart

Looking at the stats through a global map, you get an interesting geographic breakdown.

Apple continues to remain in a very strong lead in the U.S. with over 52% of all mobile Internet traffic coming from its devices, compared to just under 19% for number-two Samsung.

In smaller markets like the UK where the iPhone is very popular, so too is the device for Internet usage, accounting for just under 48% of all browsing to Samsung’s 21.5%.

Even in countries like Russia, where Android currently dominates smartphone sales, Apple continues to keep its position as the most “sticky” brand when it comes to using handsets for more than just basic calls and texts, with 28% of mobile Internet browsing. But this emerging market is an example of where Samsung is nipping at Apple’s feet, with nearly 21% of mobile browsing coming from its devices.

In China, which is a key target for all smartphone makers, neither Samsung nor Apple are in the lead. Rather, it’s the mix of many different handset makers, likely building on official or forked versions of Android, who are killing it (we’ve reached out to StatCounter for more clarity on that point). They collectively take nearly 35% of mobile Internet browsing traffic, while Samsung and Apple are nearly level at 13.7% and 14.2% respectively — in other words, another BRIC market, like Russia, where the two single biggest players continue to compete fiercely.

In Brazil and India, the two other big BRIC markets, Samsung handily is beating Apple, with 36% of traffic in Brazil compared to 16% for Apple and Nokia wedged in between at 19%. In India Nokia is very much the leader with 45% of the market to Samsung’s 27% and just 1% for Apple.

“Over the past 12 months Apple has increased its share in the US and UK but globally there is an on-going battle taking place between it and Samsung,” writes Aodhan Cullen, CEO StatCounter. “Should the rumors prove true, it will be fascinating to see if a less expensive iPhone will help it increase market share against lower cost competitors in global markets.”

Screen Shot 2013-09-09 at 06.26.55

So what’s the significance of this? As the Nokia example above highlights, while internet usage is not directly correlated (but related) to smartphone ownership and sales, there a couple of other points to take away here.

First, if Samsung is overtaking Apple in mobile internet usage, that fact longer term will have an impact both on what kind of leverage Apple will have with carriers when it strikes deals with them — carriers have loved the iPhone in part because it lures high-spending customers to their networks.

Second, it could also start to have an impact with developers, who has largely been faithful to iOS as its first port of call for app development, because iPhone owners have traditionally been the most engaged group. Numbers like these point to how that balance is shifting, and that in turn could translate into Apple losing its reputation as host of the very best and biggest app store.

On the other hand, while there is a clear opportunity for Apple to swoop in with devices for most cost-conscious users, this may not be the approach that it chooses to take — or, indeed, that it has ever taken. Consider predictions of how a “low-cost” device might actually end up being just “less cost” — that is, priced in the region of $400 or possibly even more. If that kind of pricing comes to pass, it too raises questions about how effective a new device will be to turn usage numbers more strongly in Apple’s favor (and maybe puts even more emphasis on how Apple links up with subsidizing carriers).

Location-Based Marketing Startup Placecast Is Moving Into Mobile Ads (And AdTech) With PlaceAd, A New Demand-Side Platform

Placecast, a mobile marketing company that has built out a business around services like its ShopAlert geo-targeted messaging notifications for people physically near locations like stores, is now taking the next step to link up advertisers and mobile consumers. It is launching PlaceAd, a demand side platform that connects Placecast’s location technology with mobile ad networks so advertisers can deliver campaigns based on location as well as other user-specific criteria like age, gender, interests, device type / operating system, time of day, and weather.

The hope is that by doing this, Placecast will be able to better tap into the $9 billion that analysts forecast will be spent on mobile ad campaigns this year.

PlaceAd is kicking off with partnerships with MoPub, PubMatic, and Smaato, who will collectively inventory from the mobile publishers it works with into the platform. This will put inventory from mobile publishers like BET Networks, Songza, My Fitness Pal, NGMoco, Flixster, MSNBC, Handmark and EA on to PlaceAd. Meanwhile, Placecast’s existing brand advertisers for its marketing business include Starbucks, L’Oreal, Kiehl’s, Pizza Hut, HP, Subway, and SC Johnson, and CEO Alistair Goodman tells us that these would be likely candidates to be initial and early users of the DSP.

“Over the last 2 years big brands have been running geofencing campaigns on our platform,” he says. “There’s been an enormous amt of interest in getting that scale for advertising, too.”

While the PlaceAd DSP is a sign of how Placecast is leveraging the data it collects on user behaviour, and extending more products to the customer base it has amassed, it is also a sign of how, for newer players tapping into the growth of mobile advertising, the bigger gains right now may be precisely in adtech.

This is a smart move, considering that there is consolidation underway in mobile ad networks — the latest being JumpTap getting acquired by Millennial Media — as companies try to scale up to better compete against the likes of Google, which has a a disproportionate lead at the moment.

Meanwhile, adtech, which will help publishers and brands make more intelligent ad buys to target mobile users, is still a nascent area, and one you could argue will be an essential part in how the mobile ad industry will actually grow in the way that everyone projects it will. Adtech is also something that also not immune to consolidation: just last week Amobee bought adtech firm Gradient X just as the young startup is coming out of beta.

This is especially important as mobile advertising matures and extends beyond the mobile-focused games and services that have accounted for a large part of mobile advertising up to today.

“Facebook and Google are commanding the lion’s shae of advertising but publishers are still looking for an additional and better way to reach audiences at scale,” said Goodman. “What we are offering is a single buy for mobile display ad campaigns that use location and goefencing to give then a really strong tool, which will be particularly good for those selling goods and services in the real world.”

In addition to linking up with larger ad networks and the audience targeting based on criteria like location, age, gender, device and other factors, PlaceAd will provide a dashboard for publishers and media buyers to track responses to campaigns; real-time bidding on a per-impression basis; the ability to use analytics to update ad campaigns, down to specific store locations.

Apple's next iPhone headed to China Mobile -- report

This purported image of an iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C side by side is just one in a growing abundance of leaks.

(Credit: Sonny Dickson)

Apple's next iPhone is headed to China Mobile and its more than 740 million subscribers, according to a new report.

Citing sources, The Wall Street Journal says (subscription required) Apple plans to ship the upcoming, and highly rumored low-cost iPhone model to the carrier, which does not currently offer Apple's mobile phone.

The report comes on the heels of others in recent weeks claiming that Apple and the carrier have been involved in business discussions.

A deal with China Mobile could bring in an extra 20 million iPhone unit sales within a year, and boost Apple's revenue in the region, which was down 14 percent from the previous year last quarter. That's according to a report from Barclays published Thursday. Other estimates haveedged closer to 40 million for all of 2014, which is close to what the tech giant shipped worldwide in its second quarter earlier this year.

Apple is holding a press event at its Cupertino, Calif., headquarters Tuesday, where the company is 

expected to unveil two new iPhone models. CNET will be there to bring you all the news.

Mobile Calendar App Event Book Gets A New Design And ‘Location Book’ Features

While startups are trying to replace your mobile calendar by making it smarter, there’s a new-ish iOS app called Event Book that seems to be built around the belief that what calendars really need is to become simpler and easier to use.

Created by Abhinay Ashutosh, Event Book launched earlier this year. Since then, Ashutosh said the app has been downloaded more than 60,000 times, and he said that he has incorporated “user feedback from tens of thousands of folks” to release version 2.0 today.

The Event Book interface is divided into different “books”: The Day Book shows you your agenda for the current day; and the Week Book, the Month Book, and the List Book display all of your calendar items in a single list. In most sections, you can swipe across to see the next day, week, or month, and you can adjust between “long” and “short” views to determine how much information is displayed. In the Month Book, the number of dots under each day to indicate how many events you have scheduled.

None of this is exactly revelatory, but I think it looks pretty slick — if you don’t like the design of the native iOS app, but you’re not necessarily looking for lots of “smart” bells and whistles (somethingI’ve complained about in the past), this could be the app for you.

When I asked how he sees Event Book fitting into the larger calendar market, Ashutosh said it offers “a unique blend of features and design”: “The app does this by combining thousands of points from users about what features they want most along with a killer, light, and themed design to create an app that really keeps you on top of your schedule while keeping up with your preferences and styles.”

As for what’s new, Ashutosh said that version 2.0 has a new design, as well as the ability to customize that design with new themes. There’s also a new “book,” the Location Book, which integrates with Apple Maps and Google Maps to allow users to save their favorite locations, add them to events, and bring up directions. For example, many of my meetings take place at the TechCrunch office, so the Location Book allows me to save the address and easily add it to any future events. (Not that I need directions in that case, but hey, it saves me some time.)
