JD Power collected responses from 9,767 smartphone customers and 6,759 traditional mobile phones during the second half of 2012 for the study.

According to the findings, Apple continues to maintain a significant lead on its competitors, so it doesn’t appear to be in jeopardy of losing its customer satisfaction crown. The company proudly displays its JD Power award on its “Why iPhone?” page, though it has yet to update it to note its most recent win.

Apple isn’t necessarily winning the market share game in the mobile space, but its customers do seem to be largely content with their devices. The company sold a record 47.8 million iPhones last quarter, up 23% year-over-year.
