    Rightt.... Apple losing marketshare because 20 OEMS releasing android phones.

    "Apple predicts it will ship 53 million iPhones in Q4, but senior practice director, Nick Spencer notes: “Even with a record Q4 for the iPhone, Apple is only expected to achieve 18.7% market share which is down from the 22.6% Apple achieved in Q4 2012, due to Android’s growing dominance and the importance of emerging markets.”

    53 million is huge for Apple but they still going to lose marketshare.

        well, the best part about articles about apple is , how fans of other platform's,try to take apple down and try to make the worst out of every article . In a way that's nice , its nice to know how much people do care about apple ,you can love them , hate them ,believe them or insult them , but one thing you can't do is ignore them ,cause they change things,they make this world a better place .

          Nearly all the 5s/5c sales are to people who already own iphones.

          Apple continues to lose market share because their phone design is outdated and overpriced.

            "According to research consultants Counterpoint Research, Apple captured 34% of the 2.8 million Japanese mobile phone sales this September, marking a sizable increase from the estimated 14% seen in both July and August.
            The news is even more impressive when, as Counterpoint director Tom Kang notes, “This is the first time any handset brand has crossed the 30% mark in the last decade in one of the most modern digital handset market in the world, Japan.”

            Wow, i didnt knew apple doing that well in japan.

              So...Many...Haters!!!

              Love it or hate it - these are amazing Sales and Revenue figures.

              Show me all of the other tech company's that can report sales and figures as high as this. There aren't many.

              Criticise as much as you like but they got 33.8 million iPhone's sold in a quarter.

              Why does any news about Apple have to be taken as bad news?? Why does GOOD news about Apple upset you so much?

              Why do you care so much if they beat Samsung or any other company? Have any of you ever used an iPhone? A Mac? An iPad? iTunes?

              Do you all own shares? Are you all members of the board?

                  AnonD-97279, 29 Oct 2013Yes in your dream...Its not that far from reality.

                  Two years ago holiday q apple sold 37m, last holiday q 47.8m, so 50m is very very plausable.

                  Also last holiday q apple sold 22.9m million iPads so over 20m is no problem.

                  I think next q for apple is going to be best ever.
