Today there are one billion Smartphone users in the world. It
was hardly five years ago that the iPhone has released in the market. The figures
were released after an associated report was released yesterday. The findings
were carried out the US firm Strategy Analytics.
One billion users with a smartphone means one out of around
seven people in the world do use this device. The magical number was attained
during the third quarter – July to September, of the current calendar year.

It should be noted that Nokia Communicator, the first ever smartphone
came into being way back in 1996. However, the demand for such devices shot up tremendously
after Apple released the iPhone around five years back in 2007.
The iPhone had a big role to play in the popularity of the
device. The design played a major part in the success of the gadget. However,
it is interesting to note that countries like India, China and parts of Africa still
have to experience the world of Smartphones in the true sense.
Though Apple stands out when it comes to Smartphones and has
tasted success with iPhone 5, companies like Samsung still remain their biggest
challengers.
