    Apple Q4 2014 sold 74,5M units and Samsung sold 74,5M units

    Apple Q1 2015 sold 60,2M units, down from previous Q -20%
    Smsng Q1 2015 sold 81,1M units, up from previous Q +8,8%

    Still somehow most guys want to see these numbers great for Apple, I guess math is not for the fanboys

            Just like before, great overall experience. That's getting better every year and ecosystem growing and you many Apple devices working together better and better.

            Soon there's homekit, new Apple TV, just released Apple watch etc.

            Apple doesn't need to worry how can they sell the devices, devices sell themself nowdays. Apple have done so many great choices about their devices and ecosystem, so they don't need to worry.

            Android OEMs in other hand, they are in big problem.

                Apple then released the iPhone6 and the Apple hype began, I watched 3 reviewers on release of the iphone6 all harped on on the iPhone6 being better NOT one mentioned the specs had NOT changed eg better camera

                I was surprised that the iPhone6 has done as well as it has ESPECIALLY IN CHINA when all it is the 2012 iPhone5 with a LARGER DISPLAY adding the NON phone related Apple pay see for yourself http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4910&idPhone2=6378

                Samsung have with the S6 shown Apple how to make an iPhone as the S6 is NOT a Samsung "flagship" NO memory expansion NO removable batter, so Samsung purist (eg ME) won't buy it

                What I do like is that Apple in OCTOBER 2015 have to respond http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=7079&idPhone2=6378

                Since 2011 iPhone4s Apple have kept eg 8Mp camera
                Anyone who thinks the next iPhone specs come will even come to the close S6 is dreaming

                      Not apple, rather samsung is more likely to loose its market share. Reason-- the apple fanboys will keep buying iPhone even if there is an incremental hardware or software boost. But for the android/samsung fans, the waves of Chinese manufacturers with low-priced phones, will continue to penetrate newer markets n lure more buyers. Eventually eating away samsung market share.

                            So it's not even a competition with iOS(they don't make entry & mid range phones).

                            They certainly don't make high end phones fruit freak.

                                      Samsung is not based solely on consumer products but their consumer products branch will will stop eventually.
                                      Apple has been up and down constantly, for example.
                                      Even SONY was a juggernaut, now it's a "me too". It's a cycle.

                                        Apple gained marketshare due to its bigscreen 6plus(people just loved it for that), else i bet sales would't have been that great.
