Samsung and Apple would benefit from the demise of BlackBerry - Android Help

BlackBerry , the company that once was a Canadian giant in the world of mobile phones, today is just a company that sees the light closer … the end of the tunnel. Although many might lament the demise of this company, Samsung and Apple would be the two major beneficiaries of this closure.

BlackBerry, no more mobile manufacturing

Not that BlackBerry will disappear completely. What I think is that its manufacturing division smartphones will disappear, and the operating system development. The latest moves of the company could try to keep alive the division dedicated to some services such as BlackBerry Messenger, but it would not be uncommon to see also engage in other mobile services targeted to the professional world. Where and yes they have very little to do in the world of manufacturing and developing smartphone operating system. In July 2012 some important countries of the smartphone market, such as USA, Spain, France, and Britain, had a share of mobile operating systems sold in the last three months split between Android, iOS, BlackBerry, Symbian and Windows Phone. The operating system of the Canadian company had between 6% and 11% in these countries. However, a year later, the best figures are at 4%, and in some countries is not even 1%. Not talking about smartphones that are active, but of smartphones sold in three months to July of the corresponding year. Even so, it looks like the Canadian company has fallen into poverty.

Samsung and Apple, the big winners

Not only would

negative news concerning the closure of the division of BlackBerry smartphones. Samsung and Apple would be the major beneficiaries of this closure. On one hand, we find that is missing one of the most powerful rivals they had. Maybe they were not so great in sales, and was already in the doldrums, but still had a name that could be able to stand up to the giant South Korean and American. Now, that mark is gone, and the faithful buyers who were no longer able to buy or the worst smartphones to launch.

In fact, it has been the Ben Reitzes, an analyst at Barclays, which has issued a note to investors on the smart phone market in the United States. In this, he claimed that Samsung and Apple were involved in the disappearance of BlackBerry, and even the sale of Nokia, as this could cause a lot of users now opt for their smartphones rather than Finns or Canadians. According to his calculations, Samsung and Apple could earn between five and ten points in the smartphone market share.

is necessary to clarify these data. While we spoke of sales data in the last three months, now we talk about fees currently active smartphones. Sales in the last three months could be very negative for BlackBerry, but that’s not a reference to the active smartphones out there at the moment, there are many running BlackBerry yet. However, in just a few years the share of BlackBerry zero would beyond doubt. And the only question would be is which companies would take over the market share that release Canadians. Obviously, Samsung and Apple, the two market giants are prime candidates. Currently, they are the only companies that are in a position to offer the professional market of high level smartphones. And Samsung is the one that is done with much of the cheap smartphone market, which will affect all those who bought a BlackBerry for its lower price.

In any case, we still have to wait a bit. It seems that the sale of BlackBerry to another company is not yet closed, and that the process could be extended, remaining divisions determine what would sell and what would remain what we know as BlackBerry.
