Apple had last q record sales and were number one. In reality what Apple can do for company who most sales are coming from low and mid end phones? Apple isn't competing in the market where most Samsung sales are coming.

              Read the source "Samsung sales results for its high-end smartphones fell short of expectations in the first quarter"

              "You snooze, you lose."

              It's actually samsung who is losing and been losing years, or do you think if Apple give every q for example 50 million free phones and losing money they are winning something because that would put them in lead in unit sales.

              Samsung ASP is around $200 iPhone ASP is $700.

                Lead doesn't matter, apple take 95% profit and that matter.

                  With the Note 7 issues last year Apple had a great opportunity to take the lead. And what did they do?? That's right, nothing. Now Samsung is number one again and Apple is the bridesmaid yet again. Oh well. You snooze, you lose.

                      AnonD-82756, 12 Apr 2017Wheres Sony?????Sony is probably around 4% of the global market if not less. Exactly where I said they were in another post just a few days ago...my prediction is there are even worse times ahead for them...with Nokia back in the scene.

                        Absolutely well done to Samsung for retaking the highest place. But well done to Xiaomi & ZTE as well. They are doing a very good job, and the others too, such as Huawei, LG, etc. Basically all of them, but who a little more and who a little less, and in different segments.

We don't really care about what you say because you're just an anonymous user and doesn't have the balls to create an account. And the reason why I love using a J7 instead of high end phones is because of the battery endurance of the mobile :)
