I'm looking at the latest data and I am seeing that the iPhone's marketshare increased while Samsung's has been dropping for the past couple of years.

Gartner: http://www.gartner.com/newsroom/id/3115517

Apple sold 36% more iPhones (48.09m / 35.35m = 1.36) in Q2/2015 than in Q2/2014 and was growing faster than the total smartphone market, which only grew 13.5% (330m / 290m = 1.135).
Meanwhile Samsung sold 5.3% less smartphones (72.07 / 76.13 = 0.947) in Q2/2015 than in Q2/2014 and wasn't only growing less than the total smartphone market, it was even shrinking. And Q2 is the most important quarter for Samsung... that's when their flagship-devices (Galaxy S4, S5, S6...) become widely available. For Apple Q4 is the most important quarter (the new iPhones become widely available, christmas season).
IDC has similar numbers: http://www.idc.com/prodserv/smartphone-market-share.jsp

There's more to android than just Samsung.
Whereas iOS is only apple.
14.6% marketshare is getting quite low now, expect to see it fall further with these kind of price points.

Basically cache clogs, apps that slow down the phone and kill the battery, and shiz files from the internet that download automatically. Every person I know who has an Android phone, no matter how new it is (besides me and some tech savvy friends), their 2013/2014 phones are slower than my old iPhone 4S :| |
I can't say about the 4S but I did compare the iPhone 4/iOS 7.1.1 of my nephew with my Xperia M2 (SnapDragon 400/KK 4.4.4). I was honestly surpised on seeing that my phone was loading apps in about half the time.
Still, my phone is a lagfest, while the iPhone while using it never lagged. Then someone should explain me why a 2300mAh battery must last only a bit more than a day, with 2 or 3 hours of web surfing. Also why it consumes 2-3% per hour while idle (Stamina mode enabled and all).
apples next year could become an interesting one to watch. last time they reported record earnings yet their stock was still going down. money in the bank doesn't seem to impress anymore as it seems. yet they are still trying to cash in more with basically the same products they did over the last couple of years. at some point this has to backfire unless they announce a amazing new product/invention/businessmove soon.
