M1's 2012 handset sales fail to reach its previous high in 2011

Android phones are at parity with the iPhone.

CIMB notes that 2012 handset sales rebounded strongly qoq but did not reach its previous high in 2011 (down 3% yoy). The strong rebound was spurred by the higher mix of iPhone5 sold in 4Q12.

"M1 also noted that sales for Android-based handsets have risen and are almost at parity with the iPhone. This bodes well for the operator as Android handsets are generally cheaper than iPhones and therefore M1 incurs a lower subsidy."

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
