Apple iOS Devices Account for 63% of All Mobile Ad Impressions [Charts]

Apple iOS devices account for 63% of all mobile ad impressions, according to AdFonic's Global AdMetrics Study for Q3 2013. Ad impressions on the iPad jumped in the third quarter, up 62% from Q2.

Tablets grow, while the iPad grows even more. Tablets accounted for 28% of all mobile ad impressions over Q3 2013, which was double their share in Q4 2012. Within the growing tablet format, Apple’s iPad, already the dominant device, further established its position by gaining share.

Apple remained the strongest manufacturer by volume, with 63% of all global ad impressions. Furthermore, Apple also increased its share of global impressions against the ‘long tail’ of manufacturers - that is, all mobile device manufacturers other than Apple
and Samsung.


The report found that the iPhone had the greatest share of ad impressions at 35%, while the iPad came in second at 21%. The iPod touch came in third at 6%. The only non-Android, non-iOS device in the top ten was the BlackBerry Curve.

Notably, despite the iPhone accumulating nearly half of all global impressions throughout Q3 2013, Samsung mobile devices tended to yield the strongest CTR and eCPM figures.
