It's not 1 iPhone though, is it? And most people seem to want the more expensive androids as well.

It's 1 iPhone model per year... nothing more.

Yeah... it's like 100k people buying iPhone vs. 30k people buying the more expensive Android.

I can't undestand what means "most people".

Didn't someone here say S3 was projected to sell around 20-30m alone this year? vs. maybe 50 for iPhone 5? Then we count the other expensive Androids, of which there are really only 5-10 "major" ones each year, not thousands or millions.

Android phones seem to be making huge in-roads that's for sure.


Galaxy s3 will sell 30m in 2012, iPhone will sell over 58m. Plus, the galaxy will have been on the market for over twice as long as the iPhone 5. The galaxy s3 is the highest selling android phone BY A MILE. 

Anyway, Android is a dying OS...it's marketshare is at the highest it'll ever be now

Lol, that's rich. Windows is the explanation, I'm guessing?


Yes. Windows phone will take a large slice of Androids market share, and Apple will take a bite too



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

So...Windows will take a bite out of Androids, but not out of Apple? Samsung are sticking with Android, aren't they? They are the driving force behind it, so even if some others start making Windows phones here and there, Samsung phones will still continue to sell more and more. Tell me how it will affect Android phones and not Apple though

@man-bear: That's an expression for when you're so amused that you think you can laugh forever


Because Apple phones are selling more and more each year too...Windows is a superior OS to android, and as soon as the lumia 920 comes out androids MS will start to fall. Oh yeah, and androids MS will fall a lot this year too because of the iPhone 5

Isn't an iPod touch an iPad mini?


There were rumours Apple are going to announce an ~7" iPad mini at an October event. The ipod Touch is only 4" isn't it? Small tablets are usually around 7".

20-30k in 7 months... iPhone 5 is set to shell 30k in maybe 1 month or 50k this year.

What are you talking about? In fact it's obvious who sell more.

The iPhone 5 will sell more than these 5-10 "major" Android.

Do you know what the others sell?

My point is that Samsung seems to be making huge strides each and every year and I wouldn't be surprised to see them surpass the iPhone with a single model in the future.

I guess you are a bit wrong... the market share of Android was increasing before iPhone 4S release... after that the iPhone grow up again and the Android lost market... yeap last year Android lost market to iPhone.

Now the same thing will happen (or not).

And we know Samsung account for more than 50% of Android sales... the last Q the Android sold 100 million units and 50 million is Samsung (~10 million Galaxy SII).

We all know the S3 is far superior to every other Phone at the moment.

The new iPhone would be great if it would cost around the same or even better less than the S3.
The S3 is stronger and better in terms of hardware and everyone knows Android turned out superior(over the last years)
And iPhones shouldn't even be considered as the top notch status symbol anymore.
Samsung is now Number 1 everywhere - Even on the market that doesn't interest anyone that isn't a shareholder- They did so great.

If you want to be really cool and mainstream now > Get Samsung Phones.They are number 1 in the world.

No. Not at all, in fact.

Does it really matter, if iPhone is better than samsung or the other way round. There all good and fast phones anyway. Phones need to quickly improve battery life now, they don't need to be any faster


It doesn't matter at all. The important thing is that your phone does the things you want it to do, with the ease you expect from it. I'm on a XPeria Ray right now. Hardly the best phone out there, but it does get the job done smoothly, runs on ICS, and is a small phone with a pretty great display and good camera.  All things that were important to me when I purchased it.

Now, when it comes to Apple vs Samsung, it's not that it is important that one is better. But if you claim something, you still need to back it up.  When all things are considered, the people that blindly look at spec numbers are being thought a hard lesson when the 2 phones (iP5 and SIII) are pitted one against each others in benchmarks. But both are great phones, there's no denying that. 

I just find it stupid that people have pointless arguments over two phones that are both great, will both sell tons and just work well for their users. To me, they are about the same. And to be honest, those benchmarks mean nothing to me, let alone the average consumer who knows little about what's inside there technology

If it means nothing to you, then why are you taking part in the topic? If not to stir more shit?

Firstly, i'm just sharing my view and Secondly, how am I shit stirring? I'm not bad mouthing anything or anyone.

Again I ask: How won't that affect Apple, but only Android?


I've already answered that but ill repeat I case you can't see it...

The iPhone 5 is gonna sell over 58 million units by the end of the year, this WILL push down Androids marketshare
