Far behind, and it changed nothing essential, Microsoft, Blackberry and Symbian ranked with 2.9 percent, 1.2 percent and 0.1 percent.

Apple iPhone 6 thanks to the soaring

It is difficult to say anything else and declare: The iPhone 6 Apple has given a tremendous impetus, while Samsung seems rather lagging behind and struggling with the conservation. So Apple reported sales of 47.5 million iPhones in the second quarter. The Group was able to generate revenues from 49.6 billion dollars. Pretty much all sides expect that this success story will continue in the autumn, when the new iPhone, perhaps iPhone under the name 6s, comes on the market.

A possibly-date is it already "fixed", namely September 9. The basic equipment of a spruced-up 6s A9 chip with two gigabytes of RAM and the new Force touch display is expected. The camera hardware is expected to improve. Long it will take no more, only one more month. Then we will see how exactly the analysts, insider and soothsayers could predict the equipment.
