This year seems to be a tad slow for Apple as e-commerce giant Walmart has overtaken the iPhone maker to become number 3 online retailer in the US.

According to a report from eMarketer, Walmart is poised to capture 4 per cent retail e-commerce sale this year making $20.91 billion, while Apple is expected to secure 3.9 per cent share, due to the shrinking domestic sales of smartphones and other devices.
