You do realize they just trade back and forth every year as their new devices launch.

When the next "galaxy" series launched Samsung is #1 until the next iPhone launches... rinse and repeat.


iPhone seasonality is well-known, but the seasonal surge in the US, and the baseline it falls down to, get higher every year.

@Chris Hu

AT&T and Verizon report that the iPhone represented 84% and 63% of their smartphone sales in the past quarter, respectively. Those are the two biggest carriers in the US, representing 2/3s of the cellular market, and those numbers alone combine to give the iPhone almost 50% of US smartphone marketshare in the last quarter, without counting iPhones sold at Sprint and smaller regional carriers.
