But, majorities of those buyers bought a low to mid range smartphones. This doesn't include the brand new high end smartphones. On the other hand. After buying their first android handset. They would buy an apple device. Did you notice the rise of apple sales during holidays. And most consumer would buy an iphone or an ipad.

      So, in short.
      No matter of all this noise made by the apple's propaganda tech media, Android goes up again, and iOS slide down Again. Right?
      And next Qs will be even worse.

                LOL! I hope your joking...

                Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is $650
                iPhone 6 Plus $835.
                Source Amazon.

                Note 4 cost $200 less and has high resolution screen, better cpu, more ram. better camera and video, way better battery (removable too) and a microSD card up to 128gb.
                a 128gb SD card cost $80. Iphone 6 128gb is $1070. So again apple rips you off real bad!

                Any other excuses Apple fanboys?

                      The weather here gets to 111 degrees, we have to float in the air because apparently it's too hot to touch anything.

                      btw 45 Celsius = 113 Fahrenheit so either your phone is refrigerated or you leave it in a pretty cold place, if it's in your pocket you are dead.

                        Overpricing is a good business strategy to some companies. Just saying.

What's your point? 75% of all iPhone 6 sales were from old iPhone users who sold there old phones back. 15% were upgrades while 10% were from droid users. Don't believe Tim.

                            So I was wrong about Apple's market share. I said the were at 13%. But I might be right by next year.

                              Sad that the world has failed to see the power of BB OS. Based on ONX, it's got much better real time performance than Unix/Linux. No lags like Android or instability like iOS.

                              BB forever !

                                  Different dynamics between the mobile OSs.

                                  Android is "free" and Google makes its money by collecting information about users and selling it to advertisers.

                                  The hardware is irrelevant to Google, personal information and ad sales are. Google cares about Samsung only insofar as Samsung brings in more Android users to be tracked by Google.
