      Smartphone market is maturing and hence the shares will stabilise. Apple has regained marketshare for their large screen smatphone(following in the footsteps of samsung). I am afraid in future what else Apple can do to sustain their marketshare. As it is very clear that features in Apple phone is even worse than midrangers, what will attract buyers to buy apple craps at high prices. however as long as there are many fools in the world who think buying Iphone is a status symbol till then Apple will survive.

        I would say a big fail from Sammy -6% market share and only from top vendors that sold less than previous period Q (in increasing market).

          So sorry since Samsung and google does not have that ADN to focus only on products and are focusing on other companies...the decline is real for both.

            AnonD-400457, 29 May 2015am i the only one that see Samsung falling?Yes.

            Fundamentally everyone will fall sooner or later, that's how Economy goes.

            But if there are two companies who will sore to extreme highs will be Samsung and Google. And I don't see them falling in next 20-25 years. Whatever happens after that is extremely irrelevant anyway.

                    iPhones are not cheap, they cost as much as a mid range laptop in most countries. Its more of a epeen value since can get same or better functionalities for a lesser price on other brands. Probably buying iphone to compensate shortage elsewhere:P

                      Apple is making craps at high costs and there are lot of fools to fool around in the world who will buy anything Apple produces.

                        it would be so obvious that Samsung will rule in Q1 for obvious reason, the company provides a lot of phones HOWEVER, for sure by Q4, Apple will rule again.

                        Apple will always be an Apple. The only brand that people go crazy when a new phone launched. Samsung is only to those who cannot afford to buy Apple...

                        I have Samsung S6 and iPhone 6 but still I prefer iPhone. My Samsung S6 is only my secondary phone since it offers dual sim capability.
