Apple's iPhone is a lot bigger in Japan than many expected it would be, approaching two years of sales in the country.
The iPhone captured 72% of Japan's small but growing smartphone market in the last year, according to Tokyo-based research firm MM Research Institute, via Bloomberg Businessweek. And sales are growing fast: Apple said on its most recent earnings call that last quarter's iPhone sales in Japan grew 183% year-over-year.
Admittedly, that 72% market share stat is a bit of a stretch, because drawing the line between smartphones and "dumb" phones in Japan is a much different exercise than it is in the U.S.
