IDC: iPhone becomes top-selling cellphone in Japan over the Fall quarter, gives Sharp a run for its money

By Billy Steele posted Mar 9th 2012 10:40AM

Think the iPhone is popular in the States? Well, the device is taking off in Asia as well. Based on a report from research firm IDC Japan, Apple snagged the largest share of mobile phone shipments in the country for the quarter at 26.6%, ending the market dominance of local manufacturers. Popularity of the iPhone 4S rose during the period from October to December and propelled the device maker past Fujitsu / Toshiba's mark of 18.3% and third place Sharp, coming in at 15.7%. Sharp still owned the top spot for 2011, though, with 20.1% of total shipments while Apple finished the year third with 14.2%.

Samsung has been here for a while too, dunno if they are expanding. I think this effectively doubles the amt of Apple employees in Austin.

I had heard that they were greatly expanding their operations in austin.

From a quick search it looks like the expansion was finished in January and it was a 3.6B dollar expansion to allow for the production of the 45 nm chips.
