Android falls behind in the U.S mobile market while the iPhone 5 pushes Apple to the top spot.

Apple gained majority market share today, claiming 48.1% of U.S. mobile users. Meanwhile, Android’s market share dropped from 63.3% to 46.7%.

Black Friday drove over $1 billion in online purchases this year—the highest web sales ever posted during the popular shopping day in the U.S. following the Thanksgiving holiday. Of those online purchases, mobile devices made up 24% of cyber shopping traffic -- 77% of which was done on iOS devices and 21% on Android.

This disparity has left many tech pundits and anonymous internet commenters wondering—are Android users less engaged? And if they are, why?
