A survey of 2,300 retail stores reveals that Apple has cleaned up in the smartphone market in Japan, reports TG Daily.
According to nikkei.net, market research company BCN surveyed the market and said the iPhone 3G 8GB, sold by Softbank, came in at number one. Second in line was the 16GB iPhone, while the NTT CoCoMo Aquos SH-04A came in at number three.
The report said that while ordinary cellphone sales are plummeting, smartphone sales have grown by nearly 80 percent in a year. TG Daily notes that Apple released the iPhone 3G in July last year and it’s estimated that over a million have sold in Japan since then.
