IPhone is no longer the world's best-selling smartphone. New data published by market research firm Strategy Analytics reveal the third quarter of 2012 model sold was the highest number of Samsung Galaxy S3. It sold around the world 18 million units (of which 10 million in the last two months), while the iPhone 4S sold 16.2 million units. Another statistic that pleases the Samsung is that the S3 controls 10.7% of the global smartphone (over 30 million devices sold in total), while Slayefon 4S has only 9.7.
However, not sure that Samsung could keep this position for a long time. IPhone 5 also launched the third quarter of 2012 (the end of the quarter) and now sold 6 million units already let him dominate the 3.6% share of the global smartphone. Since the 4S is considered that the intermediate model (between 4 and 5), while the iPhone 5 is considered new and advanced model - can be assessed definitely is possible to model the sales of Apple's new iPhone will take the brand to head the list of best-selling smartphone. Analyst Neil Weston from Strategy Analytics estimates that the iPhone 5 will indeed Bmcirotio the Galaxy S3 in the fourth quarter of 2012 and Apple will return soon top the list.
