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.

That could be it, I mean we are talking about quarterly results here.  I think that results on a  year over year kind of basis would be better information.

According to the verifiable facts, it would appear that the iPhone line has outsold the Galaxy S line (but not including other Galaxies like Note) by a wide margin in the long run.  Not just in the US, but worldwide.  So unless I've missed something big (such as a decimal place, or I accidentally compared region vs world somewhere), I think it's a false equivalence that the two flagships of Apple and Samsung just keep trading places back and forth.  When you smooth out short-term fluctuations like product launches, iPhone seems to be ahead by a mile, and Samsung's larger unit sales mostly come from elsewhere (anyone have hard numbers on the Note series?).
