Okay, this is what irks me when studies like this one from ComScore are released. Yes, we all know Android owns the marketshare when it comes to smartphone OS’s. But to be fair, in the Android vs. iPhone debate there are probably more low-end Android devices and tablets than there are high-end ones that can match the iPhone. So let’s compare “apples to apples.” It’s either Android vs. iOS, a specific handset vs. the iPhone, or a specific smartphone manufacturer vs. Apple. Following those lines, exactly which manufacturer’s cuisine reigns supreme? Well, it’s Apple.
According to the IDC research firm, Apple is the world’s leading manufacturer when it comes to smartphones. That’s pretty impressive given the fact the company only makes ONE specific smartphone every year and they’ve already seen a growth of 142% since last year. Following closely behind Apple is Samsung which may give us more insight as to why Apple has focused their legal efforts on them. So, even if Android had a 99% marketshare that number doesn’t sound so impressive if most of those devices are low-end smartphones from multiple no-name manufacturers in China.
Why is this info important? Because this means we have yet to see one Android manufacturer (or Android device) that has been able to take the top spot from Apple. Samsung is doing a good job but they release a plethora of low to high end phones with the only real threat to the iPhone being their Galaxy S II line. I remember when the Nexus One was released it was going to take the smartphone world by storm. It was to be the “new iPhone” only with more power, more open and available for every carrier. Things didn’t exactly pan out for that device, so I’m now rooting for the Nexus Three (Prime). Here’s to hoping that device will capture the hearts (and wallets) of the world like the iPhone has and become Android’s breakout star.

Chris, I’ve come to flame. DAMN YOU. WHY DID YOU EVEN MENTION THAT GOD AWFUL FRUIT BRAND?!?!?! xD
=p
I think Phandroid has become a troll :)
Stop trollin’ the comments! Lol
Stop being a fucking iFag in disguise. I thought I could come on here to avoid the iFag, Koolaid drinking fucknuts, and I have to read an artical by one.
Wow, are you happy now big boy.
FLAME ON YOU!!!
This is so lopsided to compare Apple to ALL the Android handset makers.
I’d go on and explain why, but it’s so blatantly obvious that I don’t feel like it.
As of January 2011, Samsung has sold 10 million Galaxy S phones globally and 6 million Galaxy S S2’s. thats over 16 million without the US and we dont know how many Galaxy S’s were sold from January to now. That sad when you count 4 generations of iPhone and two generations of Galaxy’s and iPhone is up by only a couple million without the S2 US release. Android is the most popular OS and growing fast and Galaxy is the most popular phone. It’s only a matter of time.
Is this even a relevant comparison? Google isn’t even an actual manufacturer. Now if they start making their own phones instead, THEN maybe this would be relevant. Til then…not a single F*** will be given this day.
Every now and again, Google partners with a manufacturer to produce this thing they call a Nexus device. Essentially, it’s Google’s phone. Or the Gphone. Or whatever you want to call it. I want to see one of THOSE devices blow Apple and the iPhone out of the water. That would be the day…
the S2 will do it when it comes to the US, it took the iPhone 4 in the UK.

Either Phandroid has become a troll, or they just want clicks and comments. Look at their headlines recently.
Bingo.
Some examples would be nice…. =p
There are a few few examples a couple of posts above yours. I don’t know what happened to this site, but it’s going to shit quickly. It used to be so much better. Now, it’s bordering on being the Weekly World News of blog sites. What next? Batboy buys an iPhone?
YU TROLLIN’?
It’s all about getting comments and generating traffic to show the advertisers that x amount of people visit the site. I’ve been seeing a lot more Apple news on here recently. I understand that this is a fan/blog site, not professional journalism, but I used to read Phandroid fairly often, now, not so much. If I want to read about Apple, I can go to an Apple site, or Engadget, or one of the big guys. I’m guessing that Phandroid is trying to be something they’re not. It’s really ashame, because I used to enjoy this site, and it’s just been degrading faster and faster as time goes on. Between the irrelevant articles and the fucking mod that edited a comment of mine a few weeks back from something that was light-hearted and obviously meant as a joke to something that made me look like I was insulting the person. I wish they’d get their shit together. If not, there are tons of other sites that don’t report on Apple’s antics or full of dickhead mods who alter your posts so you look like you’re flaming someone.
I wonder, do they count the ipad as a “smartphone” like how they count the ipad as a “PC” in similar statistics? :P

iPhone -> 100 million. What u smoking?
Why is Phandroid all of the sudden pretending it’s BGR and Phonearena? We don’t care about Apple, period. I don’t care if they sell 100 million iPhone 5. It doesn’t mean it’s the best. A lot of people, and I mean a lot, buy the iPhone because it’s popular, it’s the in thing. They don’t care if it’s falling behind in technology. Hell most of them don’t even know what it can and cannot do. Half of the iPhone 4 owners thought their phone was 4g capable.
You know you could take the iPhone 4, make no changes to the software, maybe slightly change the appearance, slap an iPhone 5 sticker on it. Make a commercial telling everyone if you don’t have one, your not going to have any friends. Put out a few articles of the new iPhone 5 falling out of airplanes, and the Space shuttle and it landed in a gravel pit and still made calls when we found it. And sell millions upon millions.
What Apple has over everyone is brand recognition and a great marketing team. It’s the best in the business.
You seem to be genuinely offended by something you don’t care about. You know what they say, “haters are just fans that have nothing nice to say.”
I don’t understand where all the hate comes from and why everyone thinks the only reason people get an iPhone is because it’s “the in thing.”
iPhones are great products that age very well.
I had an iPhone 4 before getting an unlocked Galaxy SII from amazon and I have to admit, while Android may do more than iOS/iPhone, it does very few things better. The GSII didn’t run several “multi-platform” apps (ported from iOS) as well as my iPhone 4. The whole Android feel seems beta like compared to iOS.
Is it so hard to admit that the iPhone is capable of selling because it is a good phone
if anything, it’d be better to be offended by all these pro-apple articles full of complete crap. Phandroid really needs to stop posting this shit, as it’s incredibly annoying and incredibly short on looking at real facts in a real way. It is turning the site into a “google is cool but apple is still better”.
This is saying: “Apple as a single manufacturer” is doing better than “any single android manufacturer”. Yet, it is highly important to note that samsung and HTC, by themselves, almost sell as many phones *individually* as apple sells in it’s entirety. Together, guess what? Even those two manufacturers combined sell more android phones than apple by almost 50%. That is the truly important number. So people have more interest in android than apple, is what that defines.
This is just an incredibly selective focus to try to make apple sound like they’re important when they have been passed by a factor of 3x the phones. If anything, it shows how close apple is to have been completely squashed out of the market when a single competitor (of say, 5 or 10 makers of android phones), does by itself better (in terms of phone volume), than apple’s entire company?
marketshare is real, “single manufacturer” doesnt’ mean anything.
VVV: eh, I think I did rant a little.
I’m kinda disappointed in seeing all this anti-android stuff on phandroid lately though.
umad?
Don’t read the article, problem solved.
uannoyed?
Don’t read the comment, problem solved.
whey!

Stop spamming Samdroid lies.
You’re forgetting that Samsung ships more than just Android. Same for HTC.
The marketshare point anymore is just as valid as the “single manufacturer” point.
Both are as real as the other.
HTC and Samsung “almost” sold as many phones as Apple, but they didn’t. All these manufacturers that sell android aren’t holding each others hands and representing the OS as a collective group that share one goal. They are all competing against each other and each one will want to be the “top” manufacturer, the position Apple currently holds. That point is real. That’s what this article is pointing out. More manufacturers sell android therefore it’s marketshare will be higher. Another valid point.
I bought my 3G because I thought it was the best phone out, but with no video camera, etc, etc. it wasnt, it had no features! After iOS 4 update, it’s laggy and slow as hell, yeah kinda like a beta. My brother and his wife both have iPhone 4’s “because it’s the in thing”. They dont have a clue what it can and cannot do. My brother called me to ask how to enable flash, and he didnt know he could buy apps right on his phone. When I checked out the Infuse at AT&T, I was blown away by what I was missing. I wish I would have checked out the Captivate when it came out. The Infuse in no way seemed beta to me. It was way faster than my 3G and the features where amazing.
And now that my 3G is over 3 years old, the battery lasts about 2 hours(and it’s not easy to change), their is dust between the screen and glass (which Apple had to fix once before) Apps take forever to load, wifi keeps glitching and going to edge, I miss calls because slide to unlock snaps back to the left when I get all the way to the right, finally unlocks after 3 to 4 attempts, and the home button dont respond until 2 or 3 attempts.
Age well? And how can you say it’s good when it dont come with a video camera, come on! It’s all hype, and I got sucked in with the 3G, but not anymore. Hell, Apples got you too, stick with your iFag 4 and sell your S2, you dont deserve it!
Lol and my business partner says his Inspire is laggy and he’s sick of Android and hated his Captivate so bad he avoided the Samsung Infuse and is sick of flashing ROMs and just wants a phone that works right and is getting an iPhone 5 when it launches. Isn’t it weird that there’s different sides of the spectrum? Hmm.
And lol you’re complaining about the iPhone 3g, that’s 2 generations old (almost 3).
Compared to the G1 the iPhone 3g performs like a champ.
As for the GS2, it took Android a freaking Exynos to get it to run smoothly, meanwhile the iPhone 3Gs has been smooth and the iPhone 4 as well. If not still smoother than the GS2. Meanwhile the iPhone 5 is launching with the A5 and Imagination Technologies GPU and will blow the Mali 400 sky high and be so butter its ridiculous.
Of course. Android is a much more advanced OS with more built-in features, and thus needs a bit more horsepower to run as smooth as iOS’s static icon grid on a static wallpaper.
If you compare how Android phones that came out the same time as the iPhone 3G, then you’ll know how well it ages.
What features were you looking for when the 3G came out? Android phones then basically had the same features as the 3G and it was way buggier than it is now.
I’m sorry to say that a majority of people aren’t as dumb as your brother and his wife or you for that matter. Why would you get an iPhone 3G when you could have “checked out” a Captivate or, get this, an iPhone 3GS or (gasp) an iPhone 4. Why didn’t you check those two iPhone models out? Who on their right mind would compare a phone made in 2008 (the 3G) to a phone made in 2011 (infuse). Hell that just proves my assertion that iPhones age well.
People with common sense will know that the 2011 model will be faster. The iPhone 4 still outclasses the GSII in some things and it is a year older. Have you compared the two? Probably not.
I can guarantee to you that every app in the App Store works with the iPhone 4 and I can’t say the same for the GSII. Apps like Pulse, Netflix, WatchESPN, CNN, Words with Friends, (and many more) run better, smoother on the iPhone 4 than they do on the GSII.
It’s not all hype bud. Believe it or not, some things are better on the iPhone.
Oh and I too have an iPhone 3G but do not have any of the problems you have with yours.

The only thing I’m offended about is that one of my favorite Android sites, has become pro Apple. No I can’t admit that’s why it sells well, because it wouldn’t be true. It sells because you iSheep have been brainwashed by uncle Steve.
I agree. I also felt exactly the same reading this post. It’s like it was written by Gruber or some other Apple blogger.
What I mean by that is not that I’m upset he gave Apple some credit, it’s that he didn’t even make very good points, just like an Apple blogger would do.
I mean – so what Samsung sells only 10 million high-end devices and Apple sells 20? HTC, Motorola, LG and Sony will sell another 20 million *high-end* devices- and THAT’S how it ends up beating Apple even at the high-end. It’s all about the platform – just like Elop said.
I fear Android bloggers are falling for the tricks of Apple bloggers – that what matters most is the company profit. Seriously? No that’s not what matters most. What matters most is the ecosystem of apps and choices in smartphones with different price ranges – and this is actually a BENEFIT of Android. Stop treating it like it isn’t. It’s like even Android bloggers are being captured into Apple’s reality distortion field.
Very disappointed in Chris over this post. I think I’ll limit my visits to Phandroid from now on. Lately, I haven’t been too happy about the quality of news anyway.
Once again, I don’t mind giving Apple credit for being the smartphone leader (for now anyway, because they won’t be able to compete with Samsung’s sheer numbers in a couple of quarters), because I’ve also been a strong evangelist of iPhones between 2007-2009 before Android start taking off, and I knew back in 2007 that Apple will one day de-crown Nokia as global smartphone leader, and it turns out I was right, but when an Android blogger starts really pushing the story into how great Apple is and saying the lower end phones don’t even matter, it really starts to sound like something is very off here!
Every side gets a little excited and may stray a little from facts, but that’s exactly why we have *two* sides, so when one side tries to distort the reality too much, the other is there to debunk it, and that’s what your readers expect from you here. But it seems like lately you’re just promoting Apple’s side, too.
No, thanks. I can read that somewhere else.
Surprisingly enough I care a good bit about Apple and the iPhone. Why? Because they make good products, overpriced but good nevertheless. The iPhone is a solid device with an app ecosystem that absolutely destroys the current situation on Android; moreover, it has a simpler UI that appeals to a large population demographic.
I’m an Android users (Incredible CM 7) and I probably will be until something better comes along but it’s ignorant to pretend the iPhone doesn’t have some features that Android phones do not.
And Chris thank you for posting articles like this, it lessens the amount of phone websites I have to visit and gives me a better understanding of the cell phone market as a whole.

A lot of people buy the Android because its the in thing.
I’ve actually met people with Android phones that didn’t know it was an Android phone. And they didn’t know they could get apps either.
Where are you going with that?
You start by saying lots of people buy Android because it’s popular then you say you’ve meet people who bought a smartphone and didn’t know it was Android.
There is no cohesive point to what your saying. Some people buy Android for Android and some buy it because they like the phone. What about it?
Also, contrary to what the article says, Apple doesn’t manufacture anything. All of it is outsourced to some manufacturers based in China. Apple is overwhelmingly a marketing and retailing company. The price at which Apple sells its products, it could have retained enough profits even if it had its own manufacturing base in the US. This could have created thousands of jobs for Americans.
Apple’s products are bought purely for the snob value which it has been able to create, thanks to its advertisement budgets exceeding hundreds of millions of dollars (Apple’s 2010 Ad spend was $691 million). It sure has a good grip of the US based media which is generally pro Apple because of the dollars that flow into their coffers from Apple (How often do you find media reports referring Apple as a giant, while Google which is much smaller by revenue and market capitalization is consistently referred as a giant. By the way, Apple with over $75 billion cash reserves has more money at bank than the US government). The rest of the world just consumes what the US based media lets out.
And nobody cares other than Apple fanboys, because people don’t go to a store debating between Apple and HTC, they go to the store already knowing they’re going to buy an iPhone or Android. Android wins.
You preface your argument with “…in the Android vs. iPhone debate there are probably more low-end Android devices and tablets than there are high-end ones that can match the iPhone.”
…yet even if one manufacturer, say Samsung for example, were to be #1, that preface would likely remain accurate; in which case I would imagine the rest of this article would compare Samsung’s best phone’s sales vs Apple’s best phone’s sales (ie, their only phone), keeping Apple on top in some obscure metric that has nothing to do with the amazing Android OS penetration.
Don’t get me wrong, I sort of hear where you’re coming from, I just would expect to find this article on Apple Insider rather than, say, and Android fan site… I’m just sayin….

apple is doing this with just one phone. samsung is second with tens of devices. i like android and all but i dont think this a coincidence.

keep in mind here. there’s only one iPhone so of course it’s gonna sell like crazy because it’s the only one. If there was only 1 android phone the same thing would happen. If apple had 20 different phones suited for 20 different people…I doubt a single one would sell as much. It’s supply and demand. that’s all

We are in agreement, it’s only a matter of time. It’s unfair of bloggers to compare iphone to android considering theres more choices on android.
If Apple licensed iOS and allowed Samsung, HTC and Motorola to make their own iOS devices (yes, I know, not ever happening, but let’s pretend), do you think everyone who wanted to be part of the Apple ecosystem would only buy the iPhone from Apple? Probably not. So why do you think any one Android device can be an accurate comparison to just the iPhone? If there was just a Google phone and only one Google phone then we can start talking. Let’s all be very happy that isn’t the case because the Nexus line hasn’t been exactly the top of the list of phones to buy.
I really think this line of thinking is logically flawed – despite its general ubiquity. The idea that the iPhone is the underdog because it is one manufacturer with one phone vs. an army of Android devices simply doesn’t hold water when you think about it because it completely disregards the fact that having all of your customers and advertising concentrated on a single device is actually, in most ways, an ADVANTAGE (especially in things like phone vs phone or manufacturer vs manufacturer comparisons).
Consider the phone vs phone comparison. An iPhone user decides “Hey, I want an iPhone” and goes and buys -the- iPhone. And Android user decides “Hey, I want a high-end Android phone” and then gets to choose between the top 5 or so models currently on the market. Imagine, for a second, if (as an example) the Galaxy S2 were the only Android phone available. Most (although admittedly not all) current Android users would probably own THAT specific phone. Its success could easily be triple or more what it currently is (and that’s no small feat!). Only in that scenario would it be fair to compare the two phones side-by-side. (Alternatively, you could imagine Apple producing 5 or so variations of the iPhone which would, of course, dilute the user-base in a similar fashion and make a comparison between two individual phones more fair.)
So the fact that the iPhone is the single best selling phone isn’t a surprise. In fact, it should almost be a given. The day all of the iPhone customers are less than what a single Android manufacturer (or individual handset) can capture is probably the beginning of the end of the iPhone’s reign. They’ve already had to concede things like the title of most used phone OS (which, in all fairness, is probably biased the other way) and are really running out of ways to justify their self-image as ‘most popular phone’.

hehe this is what i said too but in a much shorter version
Android doesnt fight apple… Apple might be the largest smartphone manufacturer but that doesnt mean a thing for android. Im sure if you compare every android smartphone sold and every apple smartphone sold android would have sold more.

Off subject a bit, but I came across this a week or two ago. While I knew that Huawei wasn’t big in the US, the global marketshare in telecommunications and their projected growth surprised the heck out of me. I remember years ago, Samsung was an oddball lower-end company like Sanyo, and seemingly overnight, they started making products with much higher quality, associating them and competing against higher-end brands like Sony. I wonder if Huawei has some high-end stuff in the works that is a lot different than lower-end like the stuff currently available in the States. I’m not a Huawei fan, nor do I hate them, but it’ll be interesting to see where they go in the next few years.

When did Apple start manufacturing phones?
“PHANDROID, Android Phone Fans” That is the title of this website. If I want to read pro apple stuff I will go to Engadget or Phonearena. I am biased and I am looking for biased news.
Can we super impose a pipe to steve jobs picture and call him steve piper. Every time he blows that pipe all the clueless mice starts to follow. lol
Fuck Samsung!!!!! Atrixs the shit
There are more Android smartphone users than iOS smartphone users.
There are more iOS device users than Android device users.
Apple sells more smartphones than any other vendor.
What does this mean to consumers? Nothing.
Does it mean iOS devices are better? No.
Does it mean Android smartphones are better? No.
From a developer’s standpoint, iOS has more users. That’s all that matters. Not to mention Android users are more likely to steal their app or only download it if it’s free.
“Not to mention Android users are more likely to steal their app”
Broad generalizations FTW!
My boss took a video on his iPhone and wanted to export a still frame from it. I know how to do it on my android, but have to wait 3 days for the apple genius to have the time to tell me you can’t do it without buying a Mac too.
So what was the question again?
Why are they using Apple’s 3Q11 figures for 2Q11 sales? Also, Apple’s numbers never make much sense. Apple has always had a surge in sales when releasing a new model (generally creating a spike in 4Q sales). Apple’s new reports suggest that its iPhone sales are climbing, yet independent consumer reports suggest that iPhone sales are doing what they’ve always done, spike during new model launches and then slowing down again.
Why are Apple’s numbers so different from actual vendor reports?
Last year nokia was king. Did that mean that their platform was superior?
As others have pointed out, Apple is not a smartphone manufacturer at all, let alone the world’s largest.
And the article goes downhill and gets less accurate from there.
As many of you have pointed the phandroid articles are really becoming more apple friendly making me wonder whats happening behind-the-scenes. The nexus series are more of a tech demonstrators. The nexus one was the first one that showed what can be done with android handsets. Surely without even a proper marketing channelGoogle would not have imagined a strong sales. Its very disappointing to see such remarks from an Android website.
I’m gonna jump on the WTF bandwagon here. If Apple releases an iPhone that allows you to install Android as an alternate OS, then fine, cover the story here at Phandroid. But, in most (all?) other cases, Apple news has absolutely no place here. This isn’t iOSPhan, is it?
Windows 7 May Rule OS Marketshare – But HP Still The Worlds Largest PC Manufacturer
You realize operating systems and devices are apple and oranges?
You fanboys need to get out of your stupid and ignorant little corners and realize that Apple makes very good and high quality products. Regardless, there is no “I love Apple omgroflcopterbbq!!!!!1!1!1!!!!!!11” in saying what this post has said. It’s real facts, hard statistics, you can’t argue with the iPhone’s success, for whatever reason it may be. Now I am an Android user and a Google enthusiast but I’m not a blind fanboy who just worships Apple like the majority of the people who have posted a comment here. What you are doing is just as bad as the people you flame so much for being iPhone fanboys, when will you wake up to realize that?
