Android more popular than iPhone in the UK ?

The only thing odd about those results are how popular iOS devices still are in the UK.
Where do these stats come from?
This is more like it...

I can't think why a high quality reliable product would be popular at all.
Maybe you've not been paying attention but Android is dominating the global smartphone market share right now and iOS has been declining year on year in most countries while Android's share continues to grow.
If you want to continuing living under a rock in denial with your fingers in your ears, that's fine.
I see people with Android devices all the time when using trains, Phablets seem to be very popular atm.

Perhaps we could all post comparisons on what we have in our offices.
My office - 4 Androids, 3 iPhones, 1 WP8. Our manager has the WP8 phone and she swears by it, loves the Outlook sync.

Obviously it depends on what graph you read and whether you consider sales, usage or profit to be more important. If I were a developer the usage figures would be the ones most important to me, as a person with a smartphone that only uses it for phone calls and text messages isn't a potential user of my app.
Either way, iOS isn't disappearing any time soon.
Sure, i'll play along.
My Office- 7 Android, 2 Blackberry, 1 iPhone, 1 Sony Ericsson.
Nobody said it would disappear, but market share has been declining year on year since Android made an appearance.
I think there are a few exceptions like Japan that go against the global trend however.

In our team of six people we have five with Androids and one with iOS. We shun him.
Maybe this is where the "OO look I have a iPhone" comes from
Wonder how long till Microsoft ditch their phones? because they ant selling.
For app developers, even though there's a significantly more downloads on Google store, apple app store still generates over twice as much money. It is very true android users do not like to oah.
The graph in the op although I don't think its totally right, you have to remember the difference between sale figures and in use, apple is going to soon show a sharp decline in usage figures as people replace there iPhones with something newer. Apple still have a lot of users despite the delving sale marketshare.
Apple is also very strong in corporation, but I expect wp8 to quickly start eating into that. Buy hundreds or thousands of phones at £500+ or wp8 as cheap as £70 then they also have office on them, and far better BYO capability.
It's because most android users can't afford the luxury of train travel
This is the dumbest thread title ever btw, comparing a phone model to a OS
All our works mobiles are iPhones .....I flit between them and have a s4 at the moment, but will switch to a large screen iPhone when I see one as I love a phone that just works, and that is where iPhone excels

Haha, nothing luxurious about the Thameslink routes
Although there's meant to be some new trains coming along soon to replace the draughty dark 1970s sheds.
