Data from analytics firm Flurry shows that iPhones accounted for 44 percent of all new smartphone activations during the holiday season. Samsung came in second place with 21 percent. This shows that the iPhone continues to be a sought-after gift during the holidays but Flurry does point out that things are looking up for Samsung as well. It notes that Samsung is “slowly growing in popularity throughout the holiday season, up 1 percent from last year.”
