It’s been just two months since Apple launched its newest iPhone 5s and 5c, and the devices have emerged to be extremely popular in Japan. News has it that Apple sold three of every four smartphones in Japan last month. According to market researchers, this started after the country’s largest carrier NTT Docomo started selling the iPhone. In fact, Apple’s iPhones reportedly amount to 61 percent of the NTT Docomo smartphones sold last month. Apple contributed to 76 percent of Japanese smartphone sales last month, revealed market researcher Kantar Worldpanel ComTech. iPhones are now sold by three major carriers in Japan. NTT Docomo, the nation’s largest carrier, ended its holdout against Apple’s devices as it is striving to regain market share from smaller rivals. Earlier, it had resisted offering Apple devices to focus on handsets from Sony and Samsung Electronics and protect its online store from competition from iTunes.
