    Tenggnet, 12 Jan 2017ios gains in europe as europe's economy declines.nope this story just shows why the note 7 had to be sabotaged, ios figures not on the back of the i7, but by the grace of the note7 apple didn't gain, just that Samsung didn't have their product to sell, recalculate as per note 7 being sold..and apple are toast...in they're most popular season.please let apple pass this comment.

            No srsly, iPhones don't have bad value, just see Galaxy A3 being slower than iPhone 5 but costing as much as iPhone 6. and the OS depends on the owners needs, for some Android suits better, for some iOS suits better.

              probably cause of the decommissioning of the Note 7 ... else no sane person would get an IOS unless ofcourse your phone objective is to show off versus usability.

                Nath, 11 Jan 2017Well, if in U.S. three iPhones had combined share of 31.3% ... moreKantar was maybe not clear enough, but 28,9% is all samsung phone sales. I don't have the exact numbers, but usually, S and Note make up about 25% of total samsung smartphone sales any given year.

                      Can the WP fans once again tell us why Win10 is great on phones? Im not going to say i told you win10 was a mistake but i can say this: captain obvious is always right, because, well, it really is obvious and his name is Obvious so win10 phone users can try to connect the dots from there.

                        Nath, 11 Jan 2017Well, if in U.S. three iPhones had combined share of 31.3% ... moreJust read before you comment, there are source links and everything. Thats samsungs combined marketshare in the US, not only the two mentioned models, obviously ga made a typo by omitting that part. Why bother commenting at all on whats an obvious mistake, everyone else got it, only you thought the ranking was wrong?

                            Month over month iPhone gained huge sales everywhere, it really looks like iPhone 7 family are huge hits for Apple.

                            And why wouldn't they, those phones hardly have any competition in the market

                              weer, 11 Jan 2017Im wondering what stats will looks like if price of iphone ... moreApple would never do that nor release a value version. I think the perception of their brand is of being in the "has" and not "has not" group. The elite group that is better than the average person and can afford the premium stuff. The equivalent of something like Gucci in fashion. People will always want to be part of that group. Young people all dream of being able to afford such a device. And that fuels their ecosystem. People who are willing to pay for things including services and apps. That's why Apple makes way more from their Apple store than Google does from play store even though Google has the majority market. The money crowds usually go for the most luxurious high end stuff. Google is trying to steal that group from Samsung with pixel.

                                weer, 11 Jan 2017Im wondering what stats will looks like if price of iphone ... moreThat will never happen, and would only harm Apple's sales.
