Samsung only saw a growth of 0.8 percentage points year-over-year. On the other hand, Apple tied with Samsung by maintaining strong sales momentum just one month before the iPhone 8\u2019s launch. <\/p>\n<p>Apple grew its market share by 3.7 percentage points year-over-year to 35 percent, ending up in a tie with Samsung\u2019s 35.2 percent. According to the report, Samsung was hurt by weaker sales through Verizon which is the country\u2019s largest carrier. Apple approached a 50 percent share within Verizon. <\/p>\n<p>Samsung took advantage of the weeks before the iPhone 8\u2019s launch in Great Britain. It launched new promotional activities that helped drive its overall share to 38.4 percent, a three-year high. More than one in four Galaxy S8 buyers mentioned a specific promotion as being a vital influencer for their purchase. Apple\u2019s flagships lost momentum in the same period ahead of the iPhone 8 launch in September.<\/p>\n<p>                                                                <a class=\"via\" href=\"http:\/\/ift.tt\/2xDi9bX\" target=\"_blank\">Source<\/a>\n                                                    <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>via SamMobile October 16, 2017 at 08:07PM Samsung has gained considerable ground in the United States over the past few years.
