To be precise, iPhone web usage went up from 0.16% of the total OS market in June to 0.30% at the end of August. One in every 333 visits to a website are on the iPhone, therefore. The iPhone OS was the fourth most popular OS on the web, after Windows (90.7%), Mac OS (7.8%) and Linux (0.9%).

Whether Android or Symbian might disrupt this in the future remains to be seen, but so far, Apple certainly have the most compelling mobile internet experience, and they’re gaining a nice head start in terms of market share too. It’ll be interesting to see what happens when Android is released.
