Google's Android platform secured 71.5 percent for the three months ending in May 2013. Data, however, in comparison to the same period in 2012 were unavailable.
Apple placed 47.9 percent behind Android. The Cupertino-based organization's iOS platform finished second with 23.6 percent, comfortably ahead of Microsoft's Windows Phone.
Rounding up the top three were mobile operating systems that failed to hit double-digits. Finishing third is Windows Phone with 2.9 percent, ahead of Symbian's 1.3 percent.
BlackBerry's woes continue as the company's mobile operating system placed fifth with 0.2 percent.
As Latinos Post reported, the U.S. figures by Kantar depict a slightly different story for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone. While each of the three aforementioned mobile operating systems saw a minor increase in comparison to 2012, Android still leads the pack with 52 percent. iOS also finished second but with 41.9 percent. Windows Phone finished in single-digit territory at 4.6 percent.
