Reports lately that Android phone’s market share of smartphones is slowly catching up with Apple’s iPhone (and some say its’ growth burst is beating Apple’s), reports from global research agency Millward Brown has found that Apple’s brand is still the most valuable at $153 bil, moving up two spots from previous year to snatch Google’s no. 1 position. Google is now in second place at $111 bil with Microsoft in fifth at $78 bil.
Whats surprising to me is to see brands that I’ve never heard before, such as China Mobile at $57 bil and ICBC (Chinese bank) at $44 bil. Perhaps thats because I am living at the ends of the earth.
The interesting progress to see what would be the impact of the release of Chrome OS, a cloud (think of it as online based) operating system service by Google this year on Google’s brand next year. Or will Apple counter that with an iPhone 5 release? (no, I am not hinting it will be released anytime soon because I do not know myself). On the side note, see how Facebook is creeping in with a 246% increase in their brand value?
