Have we reached a state of "peak Android" in the same way that the energy industry can reach "peak oil"? This is an idea being floated today by Strategy Analytics. Last week the firm noted that Android partner Samsung was the world's leading smartphone seller last quarter, taking just over 50% of the market. Today, it's broken out what's happening in the key U.S. market: Android sales actually declined by 5% over last year -- and SA says Android may be "approaching a peak" in its market share.The analysts noted that in Q2, which ended June 30, U.S. smartphone sales trends reflected the slowdown that it has been seeing globally. Total shipments in the U.S. stood at 23.8 million units, which was (like Android itself) a drop of 5% on the same period a year ago. Android, at 56% of all sales, remains the most dominant in the U.S. but Apple, the analysts noted, gained at Google's expense and was the only OS to have grown over last year.
