I'm curious to see comparisons for Q1 considering Samsung release their flagships in Q1, whilst Apple release theirs in Q3.

What do you think does better?

I think the Q3 launch being close to the holidays benefits apple more

Have to see the sales in Africa and Asia.

It may be the iPhone sells better in Q3 in those areas where there aren’t holidays.

You've got to remember that this is shipments, not sales. Both Apple and Samsung will ramp up production prior to and during a phone launch event. Shipments will drop off over the year as demand also drops off. I think sales and shipments will be similar.

Overall Apple is slowly but surely gaining market share in the smartphone service. It might not be at a 20% clip but it’s definitely happening.

People forget that the meme “Shut up and take my money!” Is referencing an Apple device lol so it doesn’t surprise me Apple is still making profit and people are still willing to drop the cash for their products.

10 best-selling smartphones of 2021 https://www.thenationalnews.com/business/technology/2022/03/08/revealed-10-best-selling-smartphones-of-2021/

The only Samsung on worldwide top 10 was the A12, a cheap one. iPhone took the first five spots, none of them being a cheap one.

This https://www.phonearena.com/news/iphone-13-galaxy-s22-ultra-sold-well-april-2022_id140908 is from April 2022. iPhone 13 had been around for half a year, Samsung S22 for just two months (end of February). iPhone 13, 13 pro and 13 pro max were still on top three spots, S22 on fifth.
