Latest Stats as at 6/5/2013 ============================= These figures cover the 15 day period 16/4/2013 to 30/4/2013. This 15 day period includes 4 weekend days and 11 weekdays, giving a small bias away from tablets and smartphones. Windows-8 has now reached 3.2% which is not very exciting after 22 weeks. Smartphones running Windows are slow to appear. Operating System Market Share ============================== For the period 16th to 30th of April, these percentage figures are based on visits, with earlier figures in brackets:- Windows-7 32.7 (30.7, 32.3, 34.9, 35.2, 35.1, 34.1, 32.0) XP 11.5 (11.3, 10.5, 13.6, 17.7, 18.5, 16.9, 14.2, 14.2) Vista 3.6 (3.7, 3.6, 4.3, 4.1, 4.5, 4.4, 4.7, 4.5, 5.3) Windows-8 3.2 (3.2, 2.9, 2.5, 2.4, 2.2, 1.9, 1.7, 1.3) Pre-XP Windows 0.8 (0.6, 0.8, 0.7, 0.8, 0.8, 1.1, 1.2) Mac 11.3 (12.3, 11.6, 11.9, 12.3, 12.3, 13.2, 11.8) iPhone/iPad/iPod 26.8 (25.8, 28.1, 23.5, 20.0, 19.0) Android 7.6 (9.4, 7.4, 6.1, 4.6, 5.5, 5.5, 5.8) WinPhone 0.2 (0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 0.4, 0.2, 0.3. 0.3, 0.2) Other Mobiles 1.4 (2.0, 1.6, 1.7, 2.0, 2.1, 2.3) Linux 0.9 (0.7, 0.9, 0.8, 0.8, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9) Windows-8 has gone from 0.1% to 3.2% in 24 weeks, very slow. Microsoft executives must be tearing their hair out; "the market is changing around them" is the kindest way to say it. The Android result has fallen back to a more realistic 7.6%; the earlier 9.4% was likely due to traffic surges. The total sample size above was 21473. Browser Breakup =============== Percentages of visits for the period 16th to 30th April 2013:- Safari 34.0 (33.8, 35.5, 31.2, 27.8, 27.1, 29.2, 33.6, 33.3) Chrome 31.1 (31.3, 30.9, 30.7, 30.9, 30.2, 28.6, 26.4, 27.2) IE 20.8 (19.1, 19.6, 23.7, 26.3, 26.6, 25.9, 23.8, 21.4) Firefox 9.8 (10.4, 10.3, 10.4, 10.8, 11.9, 11.6, 12.3, 13.6) Opera 1.6 (2.0, 1.7, 2.0, 2.3, 2.4, 2.4, 2.0, 2.5, 2.1, 2.1) All Others 2.7 (3.4, 2.1, 2.0, 1.9, 1.8, 2.4, 1.9, 2.1, 1.6) Safari remains ahead of Chrome. Safari is now at version 6, Chrome is version 26, Firefox is version 20, and Internet Explorer mainly versions 9 and 10. Perhaps surfers think a bigger number means better value, but it also reveals the huge number of urgent security patches. The sample size was 21562 visits by humans. Search Engines Share ==================== Percentage breakup of visits coming via search engines for April 16th to 30th, 2013:- Google 86.1 (87.4, 87.9, 87.3, 87.8, 87.0, 86.7, 86.4, 84.3) Bing 7.4 (6.8, 6.5, 6.3, 5.4, 5.1, 5.6, 5.3, 5.5, 2.7, 3.3) Yahoo 3.6 (3.1, 3.3, 3.6, 3.8, 4.4, 4.0, 4.8, 5.4, 4.0, 4.2) All others 2.9 (2.8, 2.3, 2.8, 2.9, 3.5, 3.7, 3.5, 4.7, 3.4) Bing continues to grow, now with 4 results above 6%. Yahoo chugs along, simmering around 4%. Something is happening but I don't know what it is (a favourite misquote from a Bob Dylan song). The total number of searches in this sample was 12847, including 4843 of 11060 searches (44%) via Google where the search string was suppressed allegedly for privacy reasons. Hardware Report =============== For a laptop or a desktop computer, the user-agent string found in the log file does not contain information about the maker if the hardware. However for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, there is usually a model number or even the name of the manufacturer. All Androids can be identified by the word "android" or the code "adr" in the model number. iPhones and iPods are identified. The results from a sample 7655 visits is Android 21%, iPhone 45%, iPad 27%, iPod 3%, Others 3% and Winphone 0.5%. Within the 21% Android, about 55% of the visits are from Samsung phones, HTC is next on about 12%. The remaining 23% is divided across the big-name brands and an increasing number of generic smartphones and tablets, mainly India and China. Clones of Samsung and HTC products are starting to appear. For example the GT-i9220 is a Samsung Galaxy but a plain model i9220 is made by Haipai in China and it costs less than half. =============================== ============================
