iPhone never made it

StatCounter collects different web usage data and nicely visualizes the trends. The race between three most popular smart phone operating systems has been quite exiting in last few months. Diagram below visualizes what operating systems have been most used globally (actually used to access internet, not sold devices). Interestingly iOS never got the first prize as many had expected. Symbian has been clear leader in smart phone operating systems till May 2012 and iOS has been second. But just before Symbian's plunge the Android took second place in April. Symbian is dropping because world's leading smart phone manufacturer Nokia switched to Windows Phone. I don't see that iOS has any change to get on top on Android again as more and more people are realizing how much better Android is technically, ethically and in openness and undeserved hype around iPhone settles.
