linuxisbetter, 24 Apr 2013get a clue. microsnot sucks.this shows that you do not need to produce a good product to get 90% market share!

on the other hand, smartphones that are top market share doesn't mean good product too

            This is the reaction what apple did. Apple Is looting people and pretending to have gained high net profit. According to ISH /SUPPLI actual cost including Bill of payment +assemble are $207 for 16 gb ,$217 for 32gb and $238 for 64gb. Other 5 times more money are loaded for custumers while other companies phones are far better than iphone and cheaper because they sell in less margin and earn less money as profit . Look Chinese phones such as Xiaomi,Lenovo ,Huawei ,Zte are unbelievable price and quality.Only fool and blindly apple fan are buying iphone. Coming years will be slow death or apple Is going to be potato if it does not respond immediately with reducing price and bring innovations .

                  Anonymous, 24 Apr 2013Apple is not even remotely dead, let alone "going down... moreApple is going down fast. And market cap says nothing about the actual value of a company. Remember facebook being worth 100billion? It's just #shares x share value and nothing more than that. That said you need to consider that samsung is a vastly different company and it's split up in multiple parts so a direct comparison can't be made. With google on the rise and Apple sliding away one can easily predict who will be the winner.
                  Not that it's such a good thing since more competition benefits us, the consumer. And marked consolidation, which is happening right now, is never a good thing. So go nokia, sony en htc.

                    Good to see Apple still holding amidst growing competition. I am not an Apple fanboy but I have respect for this company and their products.
                    Let the fanboys be caught up in emotions and vain sayings while investors fill their pockets.

The last time I checked, Apple has 3 times higher market cap and is more valuable as a company than Samsung and Google combined.

                      Apple going down? Yea maybe on gsmarena(like users on gsmarena represents the whole worlds oppinion right?), but not anywhere else in the world. Stop kidding yourselves haters and fandroid.

                            SGS4, HTC one, Sony Xperia Z, LG Optimus Pro G, Nokia Lumina 920, Note 2..... There's 6 for starters.

                            I owned iphones for about 3 years so am certainly not a hater.

                              Microsoft Windows is the operating system that most of the people got used to.

                              There are alternative though and the world would adapt to a new operating system.
