The Apple iPhone was the device that saw the largest amount of impressions on our platform in 2013, retaining its position from 2012, while growing six percentage points (Charts C & D). Apple released two new versions of the iPhone in 2013, the iPhone 5s and the iPhone 5c. The 5c was introduced to be a lower-priced model at the exclusion of certain high-end features, such as the advanced camera, fingerprint recognition, and metal casing the iPhone 5s uses.

The Samsung Galaxy S was the device with the second largest amount of impressions on our platform in 2013 (Chart C). All models of the Galaxy S saw big growth from 2012, growing six percentage points and three positions (Chart D). In 2013, Samsung released an updated model of the Galaxy S, the S4, which became one of the fastest-selling smartphones globally.

Four tablets made the list of the Top 20 Devices on our platform compared to three the previous year (Charts C & D). These four tablets account for 14% of platform impressions, which grew nearly six percentage points from the previous year. Tablet adoption by mobile consumers continues to climb as this diverse set of devices range in size, functionality, and price.

For a deeper look at the new devices released in 2013, see Chart M.

Smartphones accounted for 72% of platform impressions in 2013, compared to 75% in 2012 (Charts E & F). While considered mature in some markets, smartphone adoption still has not reached a tipping point in other areas of the world, so there is the potential for continued growth for these devices. According to data from eMarketer, 57% of the mobile phone users in the U.S. have a smartphone, while 43% of the mobile phone users in China and 22% in the Middle East & Africa have a smartphone.

Impressions from non-phone connected devices grew from 20% of platform impressions in 2012, to 24% in 2013 (Charts E & F). Tablets are the largest group of devices in our category of non-phone connected devices, but it also includes connected devices such as music and video players, smart televisions, and gaming systems. This category is poised to explode in the next few years with the introduction and adoption of connected cars, appliances, wearable technology, and more. Chart G shows the five-year projected growth for these devices as reported by various public sources.

Devices running an Android operating system accounted for 54% of platform impressions in 2013, up from 48% in 2012 (Charts H & I). Android devices are diverse in manufacturers, features, and price points, so are adopted by a wide variety of mobile users.

Impressions from devices running an iOS operating system accounted for 38% of platform impressions in 2013, an increase from 32% in 2012 (Charts H & I). Both the Android and iOS operating systems are global leaders, and have gained market share at the expense of other systems. For example, during the year Nokia announced they would be discontinuing their Symbian operating system.

Of the tablets on our platform, 51% ran an iOS operating system in 2013, which was a decrease from 58% in 2012 (Chart J). This included all models of the iPad, including the iPad Mini. In the past year, impressions from Android tablets have grown from 41% of platform tablet impressions, to 48% (Chart J).

Games was the top application category on our platform in 2013, as it was in 2012 (Chart K). Games applications are diverse, with a number of sub-categories that include adventure, arcade, card, puzzle, and logic games. There is a game category for every type of mobile user.

Communications applications have grown in popularity in the last year, and that adoption is reflected on our platform. Communications apps were the third largest on our platform in 2013, moving up one spot from 2012 (Chart K). Text messaging apps, such as those that allow users to send SMS and MMS messages outside of network carrier options, are the largest sub-category of Communications applications.

Books & Reference applications were the sixth largest on our platform in 2013, up from the ninth position in 2012 (Chart K). A breakout of the sub-categories for Books & Reference apps is shown in Chart L. e-Book applications were the most popular, including those that allow a mobile user to read or listen to a book on their device.

Mobile Developer Trends

Whether upgrades to a familiar model or totally new in concept, dozens of new devices entered the mobile market in 2013. Chart M highlights a few of the key new devices that were introduced to consumers last year.

In September 2013, Apple introduced its largest upgrade to date, both in design and function, to its iOS operating software, iOS 7. Apple also announced the introduction of the iPhone 5s and 5c. Within the first week after its release, we saw impressions from iOS 7 devices on our platform grow at an average of 185% each day. Later in the year, Apple also released a new version of the market-leading iPad, the iPad Air.

As expected, more “phablets” (devices with screens over 5 inches but under 7) were introduced to the device market in 2013. The Samsung Galaxy Note released an upgrade, the Galaxy Note 3, while LG and HTC each released a large-screen smartphone as well.
