iPhone Accounts For 50 Per Cent Of Mobile Web Traffic

By Digital Trends Staff Published October 25, 2009

AdMob has released figures showing the iPhone accounts for around 50% of all mobile Web traffic in the US, and around 33% worldwide. The data only measures AdMob’s network.

However, Google’s Android has already hit a 5% market share, not too shabby considering it’s only available on the T-Mobile G1, and that it’s only been available for five months.

It’s not such good news for BlackBerry, however. It might be placed second in mobile traffic with a 21% share, but that’s down 11% in the six months since AdMob’s last report.

Windows Mobile has 13% of traffic, with Palm at 7%. Symbian, once the undisputed leader as an OS for mobile Web use, has been losing a lot of ground, down from 64% in August to 43%.

It’s the end of the road for these two iPhone models

Seeing your favorite handheld gaming device in a retro store has a unique way of making you feel old, but Apple might have topped it. According to the company, the iPhone XS Max and iPhone 6s Plus are now "vintage." They join the ranks of the iPhone 4 and even the iPad Pro 12.9-inch model.

It's not wholly unexpected. Apple declares a device vintage after five years, and that means it becomes more difficult to have that device repaired or to find replacement parts for it. Obsolete is applied to products that are more than seven years old, but sometimes certain variants get that label early.

The best iPhone 15 cases in 2024: our 20 favorites

Even though Apple has launched the iPhone 16, last year's model isn't going anywhere yet. In fact, the iPhone 15 is now a better buy than ever since Apple is selling it at a lower price — and you can find even deeper discounts online and from many carriers.

The iPhone 15 marked a watershed transition in Apple's standard iPhone lineup. It was a significant jump ahead of its 2022 predecessor, packing in the most significant camera improvements for a standard model since the iPhone 11 adopted the dual-lens camera design in 2019. That put it ahead of its time, and it's still a compelling choice against this year's iPhone 16, especially if Apple Intelligence isn't your cup of tea.
