Apple (
AAPL) may be under
more competitive pressure than it’s faced in a while but that doesn’t mean its
iPhones and iPads aren’t still the dominant devices for browsing the mobile web. The
latest numbers from NetMarketShare show that Apple’s Safari browser has actually increased its lead among smartphone and tablet users and now accounts for 62% of mobile web browsing, followed by
Google’s (
GOOG) Android browser at 22% and Opera Mini at 8%. Safari’s share actually marks a significant increase from the previous month when it accounted for 55% of mobile browsing, so it seems that
Apple’s dominance of the mobile web isn’t in danger of shrinking anytime soon.
