I think it's an encouraging sign to be honest. Apple are under pressure to deliver this year not next and they have quite a leap to make. The latest Android offerings have got me interested and I'm quite keen to find a cheaper handset this time around.
Not quite. I'm interested in seeing the list of the best-selling devices, not the best-selling vendors.
Launched on March 11th, the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge became an immediate hit among US consumers, capturing 5.8% of Q1 2016 smartphone sales. The Galaxy S7 was the fifth best-selling phone in Q116 despite only being available for the last few weeks of the sales period. The same cannot be said of its predecessor, the Galaxy S6, which was the 10th best-selling smartphone (3.2%), after its launch in the three months ending in April 2015.
With strong sales in the first few weeks boasted by heavy promotions across carrier and independent retailers, we can well expect the Galaxy S7 to become the best-selling phone in Q2 of this year. The Galaxy S6 was never able to capture the top spot, remaining the second best-selling phone behind the iPhone 6, and then the iPhone 6s. As the big promotions subside and are replaced by smaller and subtler deals, how will the S7 fare?
I just don't get the appeal of that phone the screen is kinda neat but the overall package is just so meh
At least Samsung with the S7 didn't have as bad a quarter as Apple did.S7 is selling like hotcakes while the iPhone with its dated design doesn't come closeMarket share is a metric, but how relevant it is to anything is a question. ask Samsung if market share leads to profit and I market alone can sustain a business?

You're right, Apple only made 40b last quarter. And is still the most valuable company in the world. How bad could it be?At least Samsung with the S7 didn't have as bad a quarter as Apple did.S7 is selling like hotcakes while the iPhone with its dated design doesn't come close

Awwww okay the 2nd most valuable company NOW, but a flip flop is coming.Google Again Surpasses Apple as Most Valuable Company in the World

Does this explain away any of Google's shortcomings with Android?

Between all of the witty repartee you know my position, I've stated it and it hasn't changed.Just correcting you.
Regardless of first or second, does this explain away any of Google's shortcomings with Android?
EDIT: Nothing, @I7guy? No answer? Again, just looking to get some clarity on your position, especially as an Apple fan.

And this affects us how?I suggest you change your tune, their is a plan to float an oil company across three stock markets in different country's which will value it at 2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS.
It will flatten any willy waving argument about which electronics company is the most valuable company in the world in one fell swoop...
And this affects us how?
It must affect you in some way for you to me emotionally attached to the argument. I would assume that Apple and Google will exchange positions many times over the course of this year and into the future. Both companies are hugely successful and deserve credit for their respective business models and achievements.
Isnt this about market share and what market share means? But hey you asked about the mouse and maybe Apple could have done better but the design is not flawed unless you consider the connector aspect of it all and breaking the connector off if your an abject klutz.@I7guy no answer still?
So mum all of a sudden.
Logically speaking, what is true for Apple should be true for Google. Right?
Just like what was true for Samsung and the note 5 s pen "bad design" must be true for Apple and the magic mouse design too right?
You were awfully mum about that too when asked about the discrepancy there.
Strange. Well if you won't clarify your position, there are only so many conclusions one can draw.

There is just no need to keep rehashing the mouse or the spen. It's not a conversation for this particular thread.
Apple is judged to a different standard by many indeed
