Blackberry smartphone users in the United States 2010-2021

This statistic illustrates the number of BlackBerry smartphone users in the United States from 2010 to 2021. In 2018, the number of BlackBerry smartphone users had fallen to 0.7 million in the United States. Blackberry users in the U.S. - additional information In 2014, almost 12 million of the projected 164 smartphone users in the U.S. will own a blackberry device, equating to just under 4 percent of the population. This marks a sharp fall from the 18.8 million users in 2010 (over 6 percent of the population). This alarming loss of customers means that Blackberry recorded a loss of around 5.9 billion U.S. dollars in 2014, in contrast to the profit of almost 2.5 million U.S. dollars in 2010. In 1999, RIM (Research in Motion) released the first of its Blackberry devices in the form of an email pager. Providing real-time push-email communications has been one of the main selling points of Blackberry devices ever since with services such as Blackberry Messenger providing the integration of all communications into a single inbox. Despite waning numbers in recent years, the 200 millionth Blackberry smartphone was shipped in September 2012 . Most recently, RIM has undergone a platform transition, changing its name to Blackberry Limited and making new devices on a platform called Blackberry 10. The downturn in Blackberry’s fortunes can be attributed to the increasing dominance and popularity of the Android and iOS platforms in the marketplace, which combined held over 90 percent of the U.S. smartphone market in 2013. This has seen RIM’s global market share plummet with it contributing just 0.5 percent to all global smartphone shipments in the first quarter of 2014. Blackberry has also struggled to compete with Android and iOS in the app market, with just 130,000 apps available in Blackberry World, in contrast to well over a million available both in the Google Play store and the Apple App Store.

本统计数据描绘了2010年至2021年期间美国BlackBerry智能手机用户数量。在2018年，美国BlackBerry智能手机用户数量已降至70万。以下为美国BlackBerry用户的相关附加信息：2014年，预计美国1640万智能手机用户中，约有1200万将拥有BlackBerry设备，占人口总数的近4%。这一数字较2010年的1880万用户（占人口总数的超过6%）有显著下降。这一令人警醒的客户流失意味着BlackBerry在2014年录得约59亿美元的亏损，而2010年其盈利约为2500万美元。1999年，RIM（Research in Motion）发布了其首款BlackBerry设备——一款电子邮件寻呼机。自那时起，提供实时推送电子邮件通信一直是BlackBerry设备的主要卖点之一，例如BlackBerry Messenger服务将所有通信整合至单一收件箱。尽管近年来用户数量有所下滑，但2012年9月BlackBerry智能手机的出货量已达到2亿部。最近，RIM经历了平台转型，将其名称更改为BlackBerry Limited，并在名为BlackBerry 10的平台之上推出新设备。BlackBerry命运的转折可归因于Android和iOS平台在市场上的日益主导地位和流行度，这两个平台在2013年共同占据了美国智能手机市场超过90%的份额。这使得RIM的全球市场份额急剧下降，在2014年第一季度，其全球智能手机出货量仅占全球总量的0.5%。BlackBerry在与Android和iOS在应用市场的竞争中也遇到了困难，BlackBerry World中仅有13万款应用，而Google Play商店和Apple App Store中的应用数量均超过百万。
