Apple iPhone Outsells Smartphones in July

Apple Inc’s iPhone outsold all smartphones in the United States in July, its first full month on sale, accounting for 1.8 percent of all U.S. mobile handset sales, research group iSuppli said on Tuesday.

The two models of the iPhone on the market sold more than Research in Motion’s Blackberry series, the entire Palm portfolio and any individual smartphone model from Motorola, Nokia or Samsung. Sales equaled those of LG Electronics’ Chocolate, the most popular feature phone on the U.S. market, iSuppli said.

Most buyers of iPhones in the United States in July were male, under 35 and had a college degree, iSuppli said.
