waiting for an iPhone with a larger screen and have jumped ship to the
Samsung Galaxy S5 as a result. It turns out that 26% of new Samsung Galaxy S5
users have switched from the iPhone in Britain; a huge increase from the 12% new
adoption rate of the previous year. The rates were lower in Europe: a 17% turnover,
but the region with the highest level of Apple loyalty is the USA. In the States,
only 8% of new S5 buyers were former iPhone users.
that such a high number of iPhone users are now opting for the S5, especially
with rumors that the iPhone 6 will have a larger screen. The projected release
date of Apple's next flagship phone is slated for September, so there may b
e more Apple turncoats before then. However, it should be noted that the
Galaxy S5 still lags behind the iPhone 5c and 5s in the UK, which are the
number one and two highest selling handsets in the region. 11.1% of all phones
were iPhone 5cs, 11% of the market belongs to the 5s, and the Galaxy S5
comes in third with 9% of the mobile phone market.
