The demand for BlackBerry devices has collapsed in its home Canada and
Apple's iPhone sales continued to remain high. It can be said that the
game is over for Research In Motion in Smartphone sector.
Bloomberg and IDC reported that Apple has ousted RIM from the top list in Canada for the first time. Around 2 million BlackBerry devices have been shipped in Canada in 2011 as compared to 2.85 million iPhones, which can be said that it is a blow to RIM.
Earlier in 2010, BlackBerry had beaten iPhone by half a million units in Canada. The analysts said that RIM's revenue declined by 23% in the fiscal third quarter from a year in Canada, while the sales in the US increased 45 per cent.
BlackBerry was a revolutionary product offering advanced features and web browsing, but over the years iPhone has taken over its position displacing it at the top to number two in its country Canada.
Even RIM’s share in Canada has been seen slipping since the release of the iPhone in 2007, which is certainly not good news for the Canadian major.
