According to a new report from Gartner, Android now has a larger tablet market share than iOS.
As tablets become more affordable and first time buyers are intrigued by smaller screened, lower-end tablets, sales have increased.
- Worldwide tablet sales increased 68% from 2012 to 2013
- Android sales grew 127% from 2012 to 2013
- iOS sales grew in Q4 2013, but their market shared dropped 36% from 2012 to 2013
Android and iOS are still the top two tablet operating systems, accounting for over 97% of the market. Microsoft doubled its market share, but still only accounts for 2% of overall sales.
