<section class="page">
<p>The launch of the iPhone 6 helped Apple increase its share of the smartphone OS market in eight countries, according to a report from research firm Kantar Worldpanel ComTech.</p><p>For the three months ending in November 2014, iOS’s market share grew in the U.S., Germany, the U.K., China, France, Australia, Italy and Spain. Sales were weaker in only one of the surveyed countries, Japan, where Apple’s share fell by 15.3 percentage points. The decrease wasn’t due to a lack of interest in the iPhone 6, which went on sale globally last September. Japanese carrier NTT DoCoMo began carrying the iPhone in 2013, a move that gave iPhone sales a special boost that year, Kantar said.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2866692/iphone-6-sales-boost-apples-smartphone-os-market-share.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
