The latest numbers (http://www.gartner.com/newsroom/id/3415117) from research firm Gartner reveal that the smartphone industry continues to be a virtual two-horse race between iOS and Android. The operating systems combined for a record 99.1% worldwide market share in the second calendar quarter of 2016, compared to 96.8% in the year-ago period.

Android remained the world's most widely used smartphone operating system with 86.2% market share in the second quarter, up from 82.2% a year ago, while iOS dropped to 12.9% market share from 14.6% in the year-ago period. ******* and BlackBerry smartphones continued their long-running descent, dropping to 0.6% and 0.1% market share worldwide respectively.

iOS and Android achieving a 99% duopoly in the smartphone market is remarkable given that Symbian and BlackBerry operating systems were industry leaders just six years ago (http://www.statista.com/statistics/263453/global-market-share-held-by-smartphone-operating-systems/). Symbian was used by several major mobile phone vendors, including **kia, Samsung, Motorola, and Sony Ericsson.
Symbian was essentially discontinued in 2012, beyond being used on a few regional smartphones in Japan, while BlackBerry released its first Android smartphone (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/09/25/blackberry-confirms-android-smartphone/) last year. Meanwhile, Microsoft scaled back its ******* Phone efforts earlier this year following continuously poor sales of Lumia devices (http://www.theverge.com/2016/1/28/10864034/*******-phone-is-dead).
