The operating system for Apple Inc.'s iPhone remains No. 1 among mobile device operating systems in the U.S., according to the latest survey by The Neilsen Co.
The report on operating systems being used between June and November showed Apple's iOS with 28.6 percent of the smartphone market, narrowly ahead of Research in Motion Ltd.'s Blackberry OS at 26.1 percent and Google Inc.'s Android at 25.8 percent.
Research in Motion (NASDAQ:RIMM) has seen a steep decline since June when it had 33 percent of the market and was No. 1.
Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android was the most popular with recent acquirers of smartphones, Neilsen said, being used on 40 percent of the smartphones bought during the survey period. Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) was on 26.9 percent and the Blackberry OS was on 19.2 percent.
Despite the shift in which operating system is No. 1 in market share, Neilsen reported that smartphones from all three continue to sell well.
"All three smartphone OS leaders – Apple iOS, RIM Blackberry and Android – are benefitting from strong demand for smartphones. In November, 45 percent of recent acquirers chose a smartphone over a feature phone," the report said.
