Explain again how apple is losing the market?

"Apple’s web traffic share among mobile devices is huge, according to new numbers from Chitika. The online ad network is seeing 43 percent of smartphone web usage coming through iPhones up to the 4S, plus another 3 percent from the iPhone 5 alone. By contrast, the Samsung Galaxy S III is driving 2 percent of mobile web traffic on its network, combined with 15 percent across all other Samsung mobile devices."

Does this data accurately depict marketshare?

Considering 1 company has almost half the pie...

It's not so much as market-share as it is how people use their smartphones. From what I can surmise, the iPhone's web browser is easier to access and good to use than a Samsung Galaxy S III LTE-Plus.

The article is talking about mobile web traffic it is not talking about marketshare.

this. The market share is heavily in Samsung's favor b.c they have a TON of devices currently on the market. Apple owns something like 10% of the market, but has like 70% of the profit. Those numbers are made up, but I think pretty close.

pretty close actually

Apple doesn't care about competitors, they just want to create a product that they think is right and make a profit of it. And they're increasingly doing that. They're not losing anything.

It would be crazy for any business to think this way. If they truly didn't care then we wouldn't have an announcement for the iPad mini next week.
