Latest stats show iOS with 65% share of mobile browsing traffic

Mobile Safari

The latest stats from Net Applications shows that iOS continues to be the dominant platform for mobile browsing. Last month, iOS was responsible for 65.27% of mobile browsing, up from the 63.65% in May and the 53% reading from August of last year. Behind iOS was the Android platform with a 19.73% of mobile internet traffic in June. That is also up from last August when Android was responsible for 15.98% of mobile browsing.

The third most used platform for mobile browsing is Java ME which can be found on many featurephones, and owned 10.22% of the mobile browsing market last month. BlackBerry's 1.87% share of mobile browsing barely beats out the 1.49% for Symbian. Windows Phone is next followed by Kindle, with shares respectively of .61 and .47% Part of the reason for the large lead that iOS has over Android is the oft-cited statistic that the Apple iPad is responsible for 95% of the mobile web traffic for tablets.
