Considering there are tablets,ipods,etc with 3g its probably the reason.As they arent saying cellphones,otherwise it would show how much iphone brand has fallen which of course apple stole from various different smaller manufacturers.

              Most android phones are cheap and theres like 30 OEMS doing those, i think that says everything.

              I dont know anyone who own cheap android phone who wouldnt buy iPhone instead. They just bought next best thing because they didnt had money for iPhone.

              When people buys sgs3 or htc one or other android flagship they want android phone and they have money to buy it and also they have money to buy iPhone but they choosed android, but most of android market share comes from those cheap android phones which people buy because they are cheap.

              For example my brother bought cheap android phone because he didnt had money, but he hated that samsung phone everyday and wanted to buy iPhone. Last weekend he bought lumia and now he's happy. He didnt buy expensive android phone he wanted to go away from android, too much problems.

                      Bed thing about iOS is your stucked with iPhone personally i like iOS but not so much iPhone, on the other hand you can go with android and chose any phone that suits You the most :) same think for windows and that is the butty of Android/windows.
                      Please just stop being fools pick a device/os you like the most and stop spitting on other people choices. If You like sammy buy it couse You like it and stop calling people that like iPhone a fools.
                      I like HTC one ower all other phones right now, that doesnt mean galaxy S4 or iPhone 5 sucks!

                          who cares. i have an android device i am happy. certainly more happy with this, than my heavily restricted os apple device. dont care about all these so called surveys most are biased.

                          75% of smartphones in the world run android. so what does that tell you.

Thats so stupid when now apple hardly have any competition. If you want big phone you have many choises but not iPhone. If you dont want huge phone but you want flagship phone with great parts your only option is iPhone.

                            No wonder why iPhone is so huge hit again and again.

For some reason, S3 was awarded with many prizes...the phone it's fantastic and only samsung haters will bash him. Keep in mind as many android users migrate to iOS, also iOS users migrate to android...it's a normal cycle ;)

                                  The iPhone 5 does everything that the average user will want it to do. That is still a hell of a lot of features.
                                  Samsungs high end phones are geek magnets, and innovative, as are Sony and HTC. Apple may have hit a plateau at the moment, but I don't doubt that Android isn't far behind. Feature wise, Android in general has a scattergun approach to finding the next big thing.
                                  Compare the flagships of every manufacturer these days and there's not much between them. That is good.

                                    Apple has a TV Commercial showing the iphone 5 being Perfect for the Human hands at 4inch Screen because you move your thumb from here to there on a 4inch screen . why would you need anything bigger Apple said. Now the apple iphone 6 could be a 4.8 inch screen or a 5inch screen . Apple new Slogan Size does matter & now you can see iosMaps Much better & more easier face time to see family and love ones . the iphone 6
