Canaccord: iPhone 4, DROID Charge, Infuse 4G among most popular smartphones in June

Checks performed by Canaccord Genuity analysts T. Michael Walkley, Charles John and Matthew D. Ramsay show that Apple’s devices maintained their dominance in the U.S. market in June. The firm contacted carrier retail stores across the country to determine which smartphones were the most popular last month. At AT&T stores, Apple’s iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and the Samsung Infuse 4G were the most popular devices, as they were in May. Apple’s iPhone 4 was also the best-selling smartphone at Verizon Wireless stores again in June, followed by the Samsung DROID Charge and the HTC Thunderbolt. The brand new HTC EVO 3D topped EVO 4G and Epic 4G sales at Sprint last month, and the HTC Sensation 4G, Samsung Vibrant 4G and myTouch 4G were top-3 at T-Mobile. Canaccord found that iOS and Android showed growth in June while BlackBerry sales slid at all four carriers, and Motorola’s North American sales continued to slow as well. A chart showing Canaccord’s findings over the last six months can be seen below.

      it amazes me how ugly the android homescreen UI is. grid of boring icons and battery hogging widgets. that search widget is so utterly useless and ugly.

        Useless…?! It’s used to SEARCH, nimrod, with options to include results within several other apps. What else you want, magic tricks and some head?! If you’re going to waste time trolling the interwebs, at least try to make sense.

        its useless when there is already a search hardware key. its called pure redundancy and shows little care about overall UI design.

        google doesnt care about their interface design, hence their spamming of the search widget. iOS and wp7 are carefully designed so redundancies dont exist, and so the whole interface is one cohesive experience that is nice to use.

        its obvious $$$ and visits to google.com is more important to google than a great software mobile OS design.

    Bad news for fandroid trolls lol. A 1yr old phone is still outselling the newest android phones. Maybe one day android will come out with a phone that can compete…

    • Fatty Bunter

      Really it’s not even the phone that needs to compete.  It’s the whole ecosystem at this point.  If you like Apple products (Mac, iPod, iPad) you’re pretty much gonna get an iPhone (though I’m not in that category)

    • Jtkrpm

      And that’s not counting sales from apple stores

      You really can’t have it both ways.  If you’re gonna whine that Android has too many phones so it’s not fair that Android has way more market share than the one(or two) phones from Apple, than you can’t really compare that the iPhone is outselling any one Android phone.  Someone should compare sales of iOS phones vs all Android phones at the retailers.

        Many iOS lovers just find ways to complain to make themselves seem “superior”. No use.

    Wow…no wonder so many people have iPhones.

    Wow iPhone 3GS is still outselling Just released Android Phones.

    Thats pretty bad, now lets hear the equivocation

      And wait until the iPhone 5 comes out – and Sprint and T-Mobile get the iPhone.

    DROID still is the no.1 OS and is on top of all market share. CrApple is still closed and terrible.

        Wait… are you actually bragging about paying a higher markup for a phone than other people?

    • Ken in San Francisco

      Closed?  Who cares.  Iphones work well, provide more choice, are beautfilly packages, etc. etc.   Is your car closed?  Yes.  Is your TV closed?  Yes.  Is your apartment closed?  Yes.  This ‘open’ vs. ‘closed’ issue is completely irrelevant to consumer devices, including smart phones - it’s a holdover idea from enterprise computing…  Android is becoming increaingly fragmented…

        “Iphones provide more choice”
        Does the iphone have the choice between a keyboard or no keyboard? No

        Your car is, in fact, open, you can choose leather seats or regular ones, a dvd player, or none of the above.

        your apartment is open because you have the choice where to move everything.

        Android is, in fact, slowing down in fragmentation while apple products are becoming increasingly fragmented

        iPhone is open because I can chose between installing Angry Bird or Line Bird.

        iPhone is open because I have the choice of black or white color.

        iPhone is open because I can chose to have limit SMS or unlimited SMS.

        Your car is not open because it’s either leather or regular seats. I want more choices damn it!

        Your apartment is not open because I tried to move in but you won’t let me, you locked me out. Also you can’t easily move the doors around. The roof is up and the floor is down, why can’t I have it the opposite way?

        Not having these choices I want means everything is closed!!!

        Android fragmentation is not getting any better. Unless you have a premium droid device, fragmentation issues are abundant. If you have a mid tier or less Droid phone, you probably don’t give a rats ass about d/l’ing apps and games anyways so fragmentation won’t matter all that much. So really, fragmentation is a bigger pain for android devs than anyone else.

        And Apple is becoming more fragmented? Huh? Well, I guess you really have no idea what you’re talking about. Good luck to ya buddy

      Congrats. Google has done a splendid job fooling you into thinking that they’re truly an open platform and into believing open = better than everyone else. You do realize Google is all about market share so that they can advertise to even the devil if they could. Profit is a priority, but not priority number one. Apple is about their ecosystem and delivering a polished experience that they can maximize profit. Both visions are working. Choose what you like better and drop the fandumb comments please.

      iOS has lost market share? Really?

      • Anonymous

        iPhone marketshare used to be up in the 30+% range about a year or so ago, but recently they have increased share in the last few months to about 27%.

      • Anonymous

        it was never “30%”

        its like you use different metrics from comscore and nielsen and use them as 1 source.

        you are the definition of a complete moron.

      Dude! When you talk iOS, you’re talking iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, and it still has more market share than Android.

    I’m surprised the Atrix hasn’t been selling better, if I was on AT&T that would be the phone I’d get.

    Lol fandroids everywhere silenced(as usual). But they will say their free software is on most phones and act like that’s something to brag about. Most of them are giveaways anyway ahahhahahahahahhahha.

    Have fun with your shitty, buggy OS.

      At least we can use basic phone functions, I.e. make a phone call

        Iphone can make calls too if you hold it right

    I could do these. It’s easy. Just start with the month, any month, then add in iPhone then add in whatever piece of junk flavor of the month crapdroid that has been released. then mention that the iPhone is clearly the most popular best selling phone and u just added the shitty androids in to not have to hear the fandroids bitch and moan and tada!!  true story™©®

      Yup.  Killing it on Verizon for a while as well – until Feb. of 2011.

    So whenever a carrier has the iPhone, it’s the best seller. In the U.S. at least.

    So why isn’t it on all carriers?

    This is so biased to showing Apple as number 1 and they aren’t..If you have AT&T and you want an iPhone you  can get a 4 or a 3GS (and the only reason the 3GS made it on the list is because the price dropped to $50 and AT&T offers smartphone data for people who don’t use it that often for $15 bucks and they can then justify buying the bargin iPhone) Just seeing the Atrix, Inspire and Infuse on the list shows you that Android is doing well… If someone wants an iPhone they are going to buy an iPhone…If you want to buy Android with AT&T you have plenty of choices from the high end Android phones to the low end phones…It is true the iPhone still sells…but Android sells more

    • Taco50

      So it’s not fair to compare phone to phone because there’s

      1. A cheap iPhone (disregard all the free androids I guess)

      2. Android phones have to compete against many other android phones (so the iPhone doesn’t compete against android phones?)

      Some really terrible logic.

    I paid $32.67 for a XBOX 360 and my mom got a 17 inch Toshiba laptop for $94.83 being delivered to our house tomorrow by FedEX. I will never again pay expensive retail prices at stores. I even sold a 46 inch HDTV to my boss for $650 and it only cost me $52.78 to get. Here is the website we using to get all this stuff, LiveCent.com

  • pdubb

    Without numbers this does not mean anything. If 400 iphones were sold and then the next two phones each sold 370 then android would be way ahead of Apple. Now if Apple sold 400 and the next two were 100 then Apple would be killing android. So just saying top three is just pointless really.

    iPhone sales will grow when T-Mobile and Sprint launch it.  I think that will force Android smartphone manufacturers to release better hardware (except for HTC, they have great hardware).

    Worst fanboys?

    Droid Fanboys
    Apple Haters
    Both

    (I’m not an Apple lover, but reading through these comments makes me want to defend apple. Both droid and iOS have their merits, but so many anti-apple sentiments here are so blatantly biased or idiotic it makes me wonder if apple is really the platform for more enlightened individuals?)

    Now I’m probably gonna get flamed like crazy. Oh well.

    All network carriers have Android phones not like Apple.  Apples are going down
