macOS market share down, iOS market share up in June

According to the latest market share survey from NetMarketShare, the market share for both macOS and iOS was up last month.

According to the report, among desktop operating systems, macOS had 6.12% of the global market share in June, down from from 6.36% percent in May (that’s global market share; in the U.S. it’s over 13%). April 2016’s 9.2% was an all-time high, according to NetMarketShare’s measurements. Windows remains dominant with 91.51% as of June.

iOS had 43.95% of the mobile operating system market share in June, way up from 33.03% in May. This compares to 46.32% for Android, 2.3% for Windows Phone, and 3.42% for Java ME. The all-time high for iOS was in July 2012 with 65.94%.

NetMarketShares’ monthly surveys don’t measure market share in terms of computer systems sold. Instead they sample data from visitors to some 40,000 web sites operated by their clients. And note that NetMarketShare’s numbers don’t equate to sales.
