BlackBerry's smartphone market share is finally 0%

BlackBerry bought 200,000 of its personal telephones final yr, however which may as properly have been zero. 

The onetime chief in smartphones gross sales made up zero % — or zero.0482 % — of worldwide smartphone purchases within the fourth quarter of 2016. 

Enterprise Insider spotted the stat in research from the firm Gartner monitoring smartphone gross sales. 

Within the final three months of 2016, BlackBerry bought 207,900 of its personal units operating its personal working system. 

That quantity turns into zero when factored into the 432 million smartphones bought throughout that point interval. 

In the course of the tail finish of 2016, clients purchased 352.7 million telephones operating the Android working system and 77 million on iOS. 

BlackBerry made another gross sales — handsets that use Android, for instance. 

However the final 200,000 BlackBerries bought in 2016 barely even register as a drop within the international smartphone bucket. 

The reign of the BlackBerry was already over, however now it is actually, actually over.
