Apple Sneaks by Android in Fourth Quarter U.S. Smartphone Sales
"Apple has continued its strong sales run in the U.S., UK and Australia over the Christmas period," Dominic Sunnebo, global consumer insight director at the research firm said.
"Overall, Apple sales are now growing at a faster rate than Android across the nine countries we cover," Sunnebo added.
Kantar's report also focuses on Windows Phone, which continues to struggle despite the high-profile launch of Nokia's Lumia smartphones. Windows Phone's market share remains at less than 2% in all nine markets followed by Kantar.

Okay, I seem to remember the pundits saying something about how the iPhone 4S was going to be a sales flop because it does not have a 4" screen, does not have 1GB RAM, has only a 800MHz processor, does not support 4G LTE, does not have NFC, looks the same as a iPhone 4, etc., etc. etc.
Yeah, where are those guys now? Oh they're the ones downvoting all the posts in this thread LOL

They can't even claim that Samsung SHIPPED more handsets this time. :o
Yet another thread with fuzzy math that the sheep can play ookie cookie with. Please save some time and copy and paste the canned comments below:
"Woah, looks like the iPhone 4s was a huge flop"
"Competition is good for the consumer!!"
"This is amazing because Android releases 1,000,000,000 phones every month lolololololol"
This site doesn't seem to be a good fit for you.
Nice, but it probably won't last too long. The number of Android phones out there makes it hard for Apple's products to compete for sheer market share, given how little many people care about which phone they get.
LTD, you wanna overhype this and go on a quick rant/celebratory speech?
I think more and more people are actually giving a damn about which phone they get.
Edit: rofl @ voonyx sarcasm.
