anyone can ship billions of something. Just ask all those companies that shipped Android tablets.
or ask Logitech about shipping millions of Google TV.

You're talking about the iPhone 4 that can be had for free or 49.99 right? Stop this crap.
Yes, they are free... but only in the Unites States, and only on AT&T. Even in that case, there are only two or three models of the same phone, as opposed to dozens of different phones.
On top of that, it is obvious that the other 50 million phones that Samsung makes are, by definition, cheaper phones since they don't make as much profit as Apple.
Think twice.
it's always been too slow for computers too. Hence why there used to be the perceived "apple tax".Apple's strategy of introducing new product updates may be adequate for computers (maybe?) but it is definitely too slow for (smart)phones
Every single Samsung smartphone is, of course, result of blatantly copying Apple.

172% is incredible but I don't know how. The SIII is nice but not as nice as the 4S or Lumia 900.
Spain, Italy, UK, France, Germany, etc, etc.
It's not prepaid, if there's a monthly bill...
And, those are all in Europe...
...and those in Europe don't even count, because they require a monthly bill.
And that theme keeps coming up, only in Europe, that's not worldwide. There's no where in America that I'm aware of anyway, that you can buy a prepaid phone, and those in Europe don't even count, because they require a monthly bill.
Cricket & Virgin Mobile offer prepaid iPhones. Not just the USA either.
Consumers must be buying these handsets or retailers wouldn't be buying them in increasing quantities from Samsung.
Or maybe it's because Apple only sells one type of phone compared to plenty of Samsung smartphones. And people hesitated to buy the iPhone; they're waiting for the iPhone 5, which should definitely increase Apple's share.
Where?
Spain, Italy, UK, France, Germany, etc, etc.
In some places they're giving them away for free, and not just in conjunction with a contract. Buy one get one free type deals; certainly loss leaders. That's what you have to do to flood the market.
Not true... both Virgin Mobile and Cricket Wireless in the US sell the iPhone 4S as a prepaid phone.Thanks for that information. I'm interested to know at what cost they offer these phones. The ones in the States are not prepaid, they're just cheaper because they're older models.
This argument is trash. Having more products doesn't magically spawn new customers out of nowhere (if it did, what business sense does it make to limit it to 3 products like Apple does?). More likely, the Samsung customers are distributed among the different products (or perhaps the different Android customers are distributed among all the different Android products).

The truth is: Samsung IS GETTING a lot of coverage and positive reviews with its flagship SIII.
Every single Samsung smartphone is, of course, result of blatantly copying Apple. However, people don't care about any of this and just want the "best" phone - and right now, hardware-wise, the SIII does retain the edge, notwithstanding Apple's great ecosystem advantage.
Lawsuits will NOT block Samsung from flooding the market one way or another, even if litigation defeats happen in certain jurisdictions. Judges do not have the guts to block such a device in absolute terms; so the best answer from Apple is actually the only feasible one: INNOVATION.
Alas, SJ is gone and we only have a chief executor in place now - if the next iPhone 5 doesn't come with a mindblowing screen and haptic feedback (not to mention features that only SJ could think of), the monolith will fall - there is absolutely no doubt about it.
So memo to Apple: do NOT come with a ML-like upgrade for the next iPhone - it HAS to be a complete revolution, otherwise it's all over and back to the dreaded 90s again.
