iPhone Accounts For 50 Per Cent Of Mobile Web Traffic

AdMob has released figures showing the iPhone accounts for around 50% of all mobile Web traffic in the US, and around 33% worldwide. The data only measures AdMob’s network.

However, Google’s Android has already hit a 5% market share, not too shabby considering it’s only available on the T-Mobile G1, and that it’s only been available for five months.

It’s not such good news for BlackBerry, however. It might be placed second in mobile traffic with a 21% share, but that’s down 11% in the six months since AdMob’s last report.

Windows Mobile has 13% of traffic, with Palm at 7%. Symbian, once the undisputed leader as an OS for mobile Web use, has been losing a lot of ground, down from 64% in August to 43%.

How to transfer photos from an iPhone to a computer

The Apple iPhone 15 Plus's gallery app.

As the old saying goes, the best camera is the one you always have with you. If you're like most iPhone users, that means you've likely amassed a sizeable collection of photos on your device. However, while Apple's Photos app is a great way to manage and view your photo library, it's never a good idea to keep all your eggs in one basket. After all, suffering a lost or broken iPhone is painful enough without also losing all your precious digital memories in the process.

Even if you're backing up your iPhone to iCloud or your computer, it's a good idea to keep your photos backed up separately. After all, opening a folder or a photo management app is a much easier way to get at your photos than trying to extract them from an iCloud or iTunes/Finder backup, which requires either restoring them to another iPhone or relying on special software tools.

Do you often send text messages to a friend or family member across the pond? Or do you want to message someone when you know they’re off work and are able to get to you in a reasonable manner? Maybe you want to send a message every day at the same time, to let your significant other know you’re on the way home and to ask if they need you to pick up anything.

If you said yes to any of these scenarios (or other ones you have in your head), you may be looking for a way to schedule text messages on your iPhone. After all, this is a feature that Android users have, and it can often prove incredibly convenient.
