Apple has just one mobile phone on sale in the market: iPhone. And this phone on its own has captured around 16.6 percent of the global smartphone market. With this, Apple is just behind Nokia in the world’s smartphone market.

It remains to be seen if the recently launched Blackberry models can do some magic and gain some market share for Research in Motion which dominates the US market.
