    It's amazing how Apple still can keep up sales with only 4 phones on the markets. 2nd-hand iPhone 4 and 3GS are selling bigtime in developing markets. Of course the availability isn't as great as Samsung's, Nokia and chinese brand phones.

            Black Xero, 29 May 2013Remember shamesung fans. Apple just sold two phones iPhone ... moreI love when people try to justify Apple doing bad by mentioning the number of handsets Samsung has on offer.
            Surely the fact Samsung has more handsets on offer is the reason they are doing so well? Apple refuse to cater to the lower market which means they lose alot of sales to people who dont always want the top phones.

            The reason Samsung is doing better than apple goes both ways: Samsung have better phones; Apple refuse to do lower end phones.

Samsung just go real big. And mostly through innovation and hard work. The S4 is actually a great improvement although agreed it couldve been a little more

The Galaxy line does amazing in sales for how many other choices there is. Imagine if the Galazy was the only to choose....Iphone sales would plummet to nothing.

                  Remember shamesung fans. Apple just sold two phones iPhone 5 and 4S (as 4 is discontinued) worth 22 billion. Shamesung sold All the Galaxies from A to Z and then Notes, then Tabs, then every letter has its own portfolio. Example Ace, Ace 2,S1,S2,S3,S4.... And the index goes on.

I find samsung prices too expensive for me and also the improvement from S3 to S4 to me is a lack of innovation and game changing features. :(

But in 2010 after 3 years, apple managed. And now if android's dominance is huge to overcome, BB will manage it. And for Nokia, 91% use MS Windows in PC. W8 tablets are trending now, Lumias with Nokia tech and WP8 in smartphone market are Trending. One day when BB will again have its RIM glory and Nokia will have its 60% Market share again...!! History Repeats itself.

                                    I wonder if everyone will be happy if there is nothing else to purchase but Samsung's and iPhone's. That must be very borring. For all people who wishes for other companies to "die", try to imagine that.

                                      htc and motorola make displays? They do not make anything.
                                      They are now repackagers that take credit for the work of other people.
