IPhone usage by Continent

[Yozzer]

Hi,

I have a really quick question, which is seeming impossible to find out the answer for.

Could only point me in the right direction? I need to find out:

How many iPhone 3G, 3GS and 4 users there are in:Europe, North America and Global.

The more I can break down the better really.

Many Thanks

Sean

Hi Yozzer.  Here's a tool you can use: http://gs.statcounter.com/#mobile_browser-ww-monthly-201004-201104 From the drop downs below the chart you can select Mobile Browser or Mobile OS and then select different locations: Worldwide, Continent, or Country.  In the legend at right you can also turn on or off different data represented in the chart. When you mouse over a data point within the chart you'll see the percentage of use for that Browser or OS.  Hope this helps some.

Thanks for this Ryan, a nifty little tool.  It doesn't break down the Phones by 3G 3GS etc but very useful all the same.

What does the % indicate? Is this % of population: So 18% of USA for example have an iPhone?

Thanks again Ryan, greatly appreciated.

Sean, the percentages are the Statistic divided by Country/Region. So if you select Mobile OS and Worldwide the 31.56% percentage for April 2011 on SymbianOS means 31.56% of the World's Mobile OS uses SymibainOS.  If you switch Country/Region to the United States the percentage will indicate that area's usage for that Statistic. Remember though, it's only measuring Mobile OS in this instance so it's not a percentage total of all web surfing traffic, just mobile web surfers.

You'd have to reverse engineer this data and plug in some statistics form another location on specific device usage or purchases in order to get a guestimate on the number of iPhone users, by device, within your countries of interest.

My pleasure!  If you decide to go through this exercise send me a PM as it'd be neat to see what kind of results you come up with. Also, now that you have a few other search terms to consider (Mobile OS, Mobile browser, etc.) you might be able to find an article or report that speaks more directly to your search.
