          If samsung would have sold more, their share wouldnt have dropped 20% apple sold lot more in november, but of course they arent going to pass samsung in one month. In next two-three months they actually might be number one in Korea, which is crazy.

            traditionally korean market share is dominated by samsung ..
            from 66% to 46% for samsung mean apple started eating samsungs lunch..

            and again samsung sells mobiles from 200 to 800 USD , but aple mostly over 800 USD ..
            valuewise apple might just pip ahead of samsung in korea ..

                              Not to mention probably good chuck of iphone 6 plus sales in U.S. been resold to China as well. I won't be surprise that half of more of all iphone 6 plus is now in the hands in China.

                                  if people buy iPhone, they are rich ? Even students are buying iPhone these days with their own money because of subsidies and schemes.

                                  I would agree that someone is rich when they buy a rolex watch or ferrari/expensive car.

                                    They went "slow and steady" approach and built a strong eco-system of devices and services.
