>But Apple isn't the top selling phone any more. It's the Galaxy models. The iPhone rarely was the top selling phone and never had the majority of the market (though it was of course a single company against 4-5 other companies anyway). It was the phone that caught most of the top end (pricy) market and almost all of the profits, and it remains that. That said, not sure what's this "isn't the top selling phone any more" is supposed to mean. The headphone-jack-less iPhone X killed it in the market: https://www.cnet.com/news/iphone-x-was-best-selling-smartphone-in-early-2018/ https://www.cnet.com/news/iphone-x-was-best-selling-smartpho...

  That report is EXACTLY what I mean. Apple is having to push the narrative based on segmented data in order to appear to have market dominance. 'Early 2018' is when they released their last model - and prior to the S9 release. Even then, Apple was barely beating Galaxy models 2 and 3 years older. That report was the moment I knew Apple had lost their position as the leader in the market, because they had to take specific dates in time to say they were best-selling...as opposed to a few years ago, when they were best selling all year long in a runaway.

    Err, Apple always posts their results quarter by quarter. Besides, not even sure what you're going about. Apple never sold the most phones. If anything it's the opposite: they're catching up to Samsung: https://www.statista.com/chart/7941/apple-vs-samsung-smartphone-shipments/ https://www.statista.com/chart/7941/apple-vs-samsung-smartph...

      Do you even read what you post links to? You are posting ONE quarter results from winter of 2018 that completely backs up what I just wrote. You need to at least review what you are randomly Googling.
