They don't seem to but I wouldn't act like that is a positive. The Galaxy S III has sold over 15million phones and they can keep up. For the last two months, the Galaxy s III outsold iPhone significantly. This does not include the rest of the Samsung lineup which combined BLOW away the iPhone sales.
I would expect the iPhone 5 to take over but I wouldn't jump around like its some unbelievable sales records that have Apple Blown away.
Apple is great at marketing gimmicks.
- Create a media spectacle around the announcement (this is getting repetitive and as we saw with iPhone 5, it is not much of a secret anymore)
- Spend 2 months acting like demand is so great, you can't keep up (Samsung did, the statistics prove that)
- Limit purchasing quantities to keep up the hype.
Again, I am an huge Apple fan and own nothing but Apple products where available. We just need to keep it real and not turn into Apple Zombies. Other companies have caught (and arguably passed by) them in some technologies.
