How does Australia like these Apples? Not very much according to new data out today that says Android has edged ahead of Apple as the most popular mobile platform in the country.
According to Telsyte, Android has overtaken Apple in the sales figures purely because of the sheer number of Android devices sold. Apple only has a couple of devices on the market as opposed to the hundreds running Android.

He also noted that Apple users have a higher intention of buying again and are more likely to sign contracts.
