Apple dominates device activations over the holidays

According to data from mobile analytics firm Flurry, Apple’s still quite a popular as a gift to others or for yourself. Mobile device activation of Apple devices accounted for over half of all new activations. It was 51.3 percent, to be exact. Flurry reached this conclusion by tracking data of over 600,000 applications over the week leading up to Christmas including Christmas day.

Samsung took a distant second place at 18 percent, Nokia at six percent, Sony at fourth with 1.6 percent, and LG at fifth with 1.4 percent. Brands like HTC, Huawei, and Xiaomi, came in under one percent but these brands focus more on the Asian market where holiday gift giving isn’t as popular.
