Samsung up 0.7 = "little gain"
Apple up 1.0 = "significant gain"
I mean, I prefer Apple over Samsung, but....REALLY?!

i wonder what it would look like in Europe
Apple will be on top once iPhone 6 is released.![]()
And I thought that market share didn't matter.
i hate when americans think they should and do represent the entire world...
Smartphone marketshare is rather meaningless when it consists of mostly low-end, low-margin devices that more or less replace feature phones and dont get used much as a smartphone. It does little to attract most developers from releasing quality apps.
It counts for a lot more when it consists of high-end and high-margin devices like Apple does. iDevices higher usage metrics coupled with a higher marketshare just means more incentive for development on the iOS platform.
If, as speculated, a large number of 'must-have-a-large-screen' Android users purchase 5.5" iPhones, that will definitely be a huge boost for Apple.
Tim is a lot smarter than many give him credit for.
I would argue that the increase in market share will also be equally due to iOS 8.. which has at a minimum has brought iOS in parity with Android and it's feature set.
Will be interesting to see where all this sits a year from now at the next iPhone release.... Will we be more excited about a new iPhone or a next generation Apple wearable?

Because ComScore's data tracks installed user base rather than new handset sales, it is more reflective of real-world usage but slower to respond to shifting market trends than some other studies.
Yet 'analysts' still predict that Apple is doomed etc.

1,2 Apple's coming for you..
3,4 Android is out the door…
Android now holds 61.9% of the U.S. market share to Apple’s 32.5% [...] Internationally, Android is even more ubiquitous, with 82.7% market share in China and 73.3% across Europe [...]
Indeed my friend, I thought market share didnt matter too.. at least that's what I've been hearing around here
In Spain is like 6% or something like that I think![]()
Well....

But you had to hire nazi metric-laden scientists didn't you![]()
