Windows Phone is now more popular than Apple's iOS in Brazil, Android still dominates
In the month of July 2015, Kantar believes that Windows Phone had jumped to a market share of 5.9% in the country, up from 3.6% in September 2014. iOS, on the other hand, had the reverse trajectory, sinking to 3.5% of Brazil's smartphone market from 6.1% in September 2014. Android rests undisturbed at the top and is dominating smartphone sales in Brazil, with an estimated market share of 89.5% in July 2015, up from 88.2% in September 2014.
One possible explanation of Apple's downfall in Brazil is the fact that the local smartphone market is shrinking considerably as a direct consequence of the country's financial struggles. According to estimates from IDC, Brazil's smartphone sales dropped by 12 percentage points in Q2 2015 compared to the same time period a year ago. Naturally, as smartphone sales in the country declined, the high-end sector - which is where iPhones are situated - was the first to take the hit.
