BlackBerry-maker RIM has lost its position as the top smartphone maker in its home market of Canada to Apple, reports Bloomberg, suggesting national loyalty in the company is waning.
According to new figures from IDC, RIM shipped 2.08 million BlackBerrys in Canada in 2011 compared to Apple’s 2.85 million iPhones. In 2010, RIM shipped half a million more BlackBerry devices than Apple did of its smartphone, while in 2008 the BlackBerry outsold iPhones by a factor of five to one.
