Yeah but I thought a research firm like Gartner or the IDC would've released their forecasted shipment numbers prior to the earnings releases. Just a ballpark figure is what I want

If I remember these Gartner and IDC numbers uses the official numbers released by companies... so they just make the maths to show the market share and others things but all numbers I read in the IDC Q3 2012 research was official numbers from Apple and Samsung at least (I didn't checked the other companies).


The analysts have to do more than that, since very few phone manufacturers are actually willing to reveal their shipments nowadays.
