Market share for both macOS and iOS both up slightly in August

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

In August, macOS had 9.74% of the desktop/laptop market compared to 9.71% in July. Windows remains dominate with 87.50%.

In August, iOS had 28.76% of the mobile operating market, compared to 28.44% in July. Android remains dominate with 69.97% of the market.

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.
