Some facts from our stats - part 2

Morgan Strong's blog | Created 1 decade ago

In part one of my blog post, I compared the web stats from the month of August for the last three years and looked at the shift in browser preference, and the move toward mobile devices with our visitors.

This time around, I will examine the same period, but this time look at what devices people are using.

Mobile O/S

	August 2012	August 2011	August 2010
iPhone	37.48%	52.08%	67.78%
iPad	41.08%	28.05%	14.84%
iPod	1.27%	3.35%	4.77%
Android	18.47%	12.90%	5.30%
BlackBerry	0.67%	0.85%	1.68%
SymbianOS	0.36%	2.26%	4.77%
Other	0.57%	0.51%	0.86%

Device Type

	August 2012	August 2011
OVERALL USAGE	17.09%	7.03%
Apple iPad	41.08%	28.01%
Apple iPhone	37.48%	51.71%
Apple iPod Touch	1.27%	3.35%
Samsung Galaxy + Nexus	5.88%	2.58%
HTC Desire + Legend	1.19%	2.05%
Sony Experia	2.05%	0.44%
Others	11.05% (131 other devices)	11.86% (59 other devices)

Perhaps the biggest surprise was that in August 2012, the iPad took over the iPhone as the most popular device. Less surprising, but still interesting, was the dominance of Apple products in this space.
