Seems like a pointless article/story. Apple still has a very dominant position whilst relying solely on the expensive end of the market to drive its total numbers. In other words, regardless of whether Samsung’s total presence is improving thanks to increasing sales of lower priced devices, the scale from Apple’s profit margin means it is still miles ahead.
No shit sherlock, that’s why they’re comparing market share and not revenue. It’s like buying designer fashion brands and same exact thing being sold in local markets in China, if you know where to look.
Of course, the over the top hyped up brands with more money for marketing with a cult following make more money.
Err, yes…that’s what I was commenting on. The article frames this as some big concern for Apple using phrases like “looking shaky on home turf” and “if it wants to regain its standing in the US market”, but the reality is that small changes in market share ultimately don’t indicate much with regards to future market dominance when they are being driven primarily by less influential sectors. Apple is and will continue to be incredibly dominant in the US and the West more broadly, an uptick in sales of Galaxy A-series phones is barely worth running a story on and definitely not if the aim is to cast doubt over Apple’s position in the market.
