I’ve been spending too much time reading all the Mac rumor sites, peeling over every single article or lead that might offer even a fleeting hint at what the next iPhone model will look like, feel like, taste like. I’m obsessed with the iPhone and have been for some years now, but I’m also a typical Mac fanboy, so my entire arsenal of personal technology is Mac. I carry my original iPad everywhere I go. I use a Macbook Pro as my main computer at home. I also, of course, keep my iPhone 4 on my person at all times in order to avoid bouts of separation anxiety. But how popular is the iPhone among “normal” people? I’m talking about people who just admire the device as a phone, rather than considering it an appendage God forgot to add on when He created mankind.
Here is a look at the iPhone’s popularity, by the numbers, on a colorful infographic that I think you should find entertaining, whether you’re a Mac fanboy or not. The information is a little dated, though: at the time of the infographic, Nokia had a much larger market share than it now does, so 40% is more than a bit of a stretch. Anyway, enjoy it.
