Well I work in telecoms sales but even if i didnt i could point this out.
Apple sales weer higher in Q4 because it included christmas, if you look at Q3 which is listed on there Samsung far out sells Apple which obviously means everyone was waiting until xmas to see what prices the new iphone was gonna have, some people were satisfied and so bought the 5 and those who werent bought the 4s.
This being said, yes Apple have outsold Samsung in Q4 on both phones but apple are very inconsistent with their sales during the rest of the year where Samsung are very consistent. The numbers dont lie and even I as a an S3 owner accept Apple have sold more in Q4 but over the rest of the year? Dont think so.
Samsung is currently the leader in the Smart phone market and since the S4 is looking to come out shortly I dont see that changing.

Tom-Helge, 21 Feb 2013They have never used a Jelly Bean device before if they cla... moreNo one said anything about it lagging "badly" because it's not. But outright denying the fact that Android doesn't experiences any stutter and seconds lag and claim its as 'buttery smooth' as iOS is just so wrong.
iOS might have its lags, but it isn't as perceivable as Android.

@Fluff They might be TRYING to get them banned but they havent succeeded yet which means this accomplishment was made just by people making the right decision and getting the better phone!" the iPhone! not that low wuality rubbish that Samsung are making! and that goes for all of their range not just the SIII!

Either they are a bad troll, or they try to compare an old Android 2.x.x phone to an iPhone 5, witch will make the whole thing stupid.

This result is expecteda And inevitable as Samsung has other customers buying different line of product as they see fit to their lifestyle.Not everyone looking to purchase a Samsung device is interested in the SGS3; some want the Note, mini etc. Explanation is found in the overall smartphone market share (where Samsung is dominating) rather than specific model market share. This is an obvious category where Apple wins as they have fewer variations in their product line up.
Everyone seems to debating off-topic. This isn't about quality of each product. This result really only compares the strategies of each company. Using this result to argue which product is better is very stupid.

[deleted post]That's why people say Samsung fans are in denial, cause it's true. They say Apple fans worship Apple like a god when in fact they are no different themselves, worshipping Samsung like a deity.

AnonD-77892, 21 Feb 2013i think this is a prove that many people is starting to hat... moreThey ARE the guilty ones. The 1.05 billion lawsuit awarded to Apple is prove of that. Why do you think android UI and icons are so similar to iOS? It's because Eric Schidmt then Google CEO was also an Apple board of directors. When Apple was developing iOS back in 2003-2004 Eric secretly ordered the Android team to developed an OS "borrowing" cues and elements from iOS before it's public release
And then somehow for some reason Apple was labelled the bully just because it was trying to protect itself from copycats via lawsuit. Imagine if you spent all your hardwork to create a cure for HIV and then someone comes along and copies your HIV vaccine formula and claim it as their work. Wouldn't you be furious? Some people just don't understand importance of intellectual property and copyrights
