Apple Increases Dominance of Mobile Shopping

bdking writes "If you purchased something online from a mobile device in December, there's a 92% chance you used an iPad or iPhone. And if so, you probably spent more money than someone making an online purchase with an Android or a desktop computer."

What are they buying?

With average orders being over $100 what are people buying that they would use a tablet or phone for instead of a desktop?
I have tried ordering a few things uses a smart phone it kind of sucks unless it is a known item.

So Why is this News?

...you probably spent more money than someone making an online purchase with an Android or a desktop computer.

But if you're an Apple fanboi you've already proven that you like spending lots more money, so why is this news?

Re:Right, because IOS is 15% of the market

How is "90% of all mobile purchases" not "dominating mobile shopping"? It's exactly "dominating the market of people with money to burn", that's what is claimed and no more.

The fact that you somehow read it as "dominating mobile devices market share" or the likes, is your own comprehension problem.

Hit a Nerve?
