The iPhone has taken over the European continent “by storm,” RBC Capital Markets analyst Mike Abramsky told The Financial Post. The communications device has been selling more than expected, the analyst says in a research note, despite the fact several of its features are already outdated by other phone models in Europe.
iPhone subscriptions in the U.K., Germany and France are all doing strong business and are outselling competitors smartphones, including the Nokia N95 and E-Series, Samsung BlackJack and LG Prada, Abramsky says. More than four million iPhones should move off European shelves by the end of next year.
“Just like iPod growth/penetration aided North American Mac growth, in phone-centric Europe and International, we see the launch and publicity of the iPhone aiding Mac awareness and assisting subsequent market share gains,” Abramsky says.
