There are also other market specific reports that are released. Just because you don't like what it is telling you doesn't mean it's less valid. You should continue burying your head in the sand. It suits you.

            Had an iPhone. Switched to Android. Switched back and now carry the iPhone 6.

            The reason I switched was because of Lollipop 5.0.1 and Sony's lack of keeping the Z3 and Sony accessories compatible for the Z3.

            Is iOS on the iPhone 6 better than an Android. This depends. Skype, KakaoTalk, and even Hangouts work better on the iPhone 6. This should not be the case.

              With the current generation android flagships costing more than iPhones, the primary disadvantage that Apple had is no more. The number only reinforce that point.

Multi window will be added later this year, however samsung and lg have that feature years ago. Lol. My "obsolete" phone has more features that your updated POS phone.

                  Whats the point in all the hype in focusing on a single Market it doesn't show the whole picture they might as well say Apple have 100% market share, half the truth is nothing more than a lie.

So... moreCurrently android marketshare is down worlwide and Apple going up and don't think thats going to change much in the future. Most android OEMs are in big trouble and making horrible sales while Apple collecting all the goods.

                                  This news only reflect the market shares in the US only. So, be cool guys. This does not reflect the whole world market shares. To be honest, not surprise at all. US is Apple home ground so it only logical Apple is on top. As a non iphone user I say good job to the company.
