iPhone overtakes BlackBerry in RIM's Canadian homeland

 

'At least there's Canada,' RIM must have felt during a torrid 2011. 'Apple will never be able to beat us here,' it must have prayed as it relied on home turf to keep it safe from predators.

Well its prayers were in vain because in 2011, Apple sold 2.85 million iPhones in the country, while RIM sold 2.08 BlackBerry smartphones. The figures represent a shocking decline for RIM which outsold the iPhone five-to-one back in 2008.
