A new report from NetApplications reveals that Apple's mobile web share has fallen 11% in the last year, notes FORTUNE.
According to survey results released Sunday, iOS' share of Web usage hit an all-time low of 54.9% in August, down 11 percentage points (16.7%) from the 65.9% it held in August 2012. Android, meanwhile, surged to 28.1% from 21% last year, up 7.2 points (34.3%).
Of course, Apple is expected to release new iPhones next month which will increase sales and eventually web share.
Take a look at the chart below for more details...

Maybe because iOS users are enjoying the apps more than the web browsers. Just give us a decent battery. That's all. A slightly wider phone would be nice too but all I need is a good battery.

Still a staggering difference when considering Apple against all the Android mobile makers in the world! --- Android users are 4-5 times more than iOS users, yet iOS users double the number of mobile browsing visitors, which in its turn proves once more that Android is poor man's mobile OS...

Just one question. If one browses from chrome or other 3rd party browsers how is it counted?

It is based on mobile phones/tablets, not desktops. If you we're talking about a mobile browser (chrome for iOS) then it would be counted as iOS

Yes, indeed! haha...Also, this is a dip in web usage at BEST. Look at how far ahead Apple is. Almost TWICE as much!
I do hope Apple makes a 5" (or so) iPhone 6 next year or I might not come back for yet another year, but iOS certainly still rules. There's SOMETHING going on with ALL of the Android devices I've tried this year. I do like the 5.5" LG Optimus Pro, though.
