After the release of the iPhone 5, sales of the Samsung Galaxy S III rose enough, so it is likely that many were waiting to see which of the two devices was better and in the end opted for the South Korean company supersmartphone. But problems Apple does not end here, as it seems that Apple is losing its loyal fans slowly.

This indicates a drop of 5 points against Apple. If we go to Europe, last year the percentage was 88%, but this year it has dropped to 75%.
According to Paul Brown of Strategy Analytics, these results are due to two things: first the press, which generally has not spoken highly of Apple for several months, and on the other hand the lack of innovation. All this leads to more and more fans to question themselves if they really buy the future version of the iPhone.
Furthermore it is noteworthy that the terminals with the Android operating system Google has won a 16% increase of its market share in Europe recently.
