I am getting the feeling people don't understand this chart. It's the top three phones and both the iPhone 4S and 5 outsold the S3 individually. I don't get how people aren't even reading it all and then posting.
I know, its bizarre?

My first thought as well.
Holy crap... while I can understand people rooting for Apple (myself included) the distortion and propaganda around here is mind-boggling at times.
Include the GS2 if you want to make a fair comparison.

Not really. Android vs iOS is a pretty fair comparison.
If only there was a way to vote down the people not bothering to actually read the article though. The fact that the 4S alone sold more than the GS3 is testament to Apple's staying power. Samsung on the other hand seem only capable of making little blips that quickly dissipate.
Why do they need to include it? What place did it finish in?
Hey look an EOL phone is being out sold by two
This a public relations site for the Apple Corporation...simple
No.
Learn to read if you want a fair comparison.
They're NOT adding the sales of the 4s and the 5 together.
The 4S, all by itself, outsold the S3.
Why do they need to include it? What place did it finish in for the quarters in question?
Not in anyway a fair comparison. You'd have to add the galaxy note 2 + Galaxy S3 sales minimum to compare to the iphone 5 as they split samsungs high end handset market share. Also the S3 is much later in its product life cycle and a new S4 is around the corner so of course its sales are going to start easing off sooner then the iphone 5.
Duh!
If you're going to include 4S and 5, then you should also include S2 and Blaze. This is an unfair comparison - to take just the S3.

Why is it fair? The table includes a previous generation iPhone and the current generation iPhone, but only includes the current generation Galaxy S phone. It's as though the table was designed just to present and tout how many phones Apple outsold its competitors during the two quarters.
And I fervently hate Samsung. But this table, as well as the conclusion, just create a bad image of Apple fans.

They don't...the people asking for that have made it glaringly obvious they didn't 1) read the chart, or 2) don't actually understand the chart.
They think they combined the sales of the 4S and the 5...when they didn't.

Reading comprehension. You don't have it.

Apples "freshly released" iPhone outsold the S3.
And so did it's 2 year old 4S.
As I said, reading comprehension...you don't have it.
Oh wait! Now shipments are impressive because Apple is back on top? But when it was Samsung on top the last time shipments meant nothing.
Ok, go at it. Draw me a "fair" list of the top 3 selling phones.
Go:
1) _______
2) _______
3) _______
I'm curious to see how you handle this, since apparently you have a better idea.
