    The term "on the rise" is misleading. It should be "gained some ground".

                  You cannot count shipped units cause that's just phones shipped to stores worldwide. You need to count SALES.

                        In Asia, apple is a very well respected brand. Al though very expensive, most people would rather have an iphone. It's just a very good product to own.

                        If apple really will release a lower priced Iphone, it will sell very very very well, in Asia. BTW, I'm from Taiwan.

                            Guys just keep in mind don't trust the liars or else they will control you by the virtue o faith since faith is a control mechanism.
                            Once you act upon faith you're nothing but a sheep waiting in line for a phony phone.

                                No matter how many cores or features... iphone is a BRAND no one cares what it makes nobody needs smartstay. ( at least 90% of iphone owners dont even use iphone functionalities) they only have the phone for browsing taking pictures and facebook... so iphone is awesome. and the MAIN REASON is STATUS. Also... try to sell your galaxy s2 now and then try to sell your iphone 4s. iphone 4s value = double the s2. same applies to iphone 5 and galaxy s3 in the near future. if you want to get rid of your old iphone to get a new one you will get a better price just because its IPHONE.
                                I own a galaxy s3.
