- ZeroGravitas 16y agoThe first two graphs are about the phone market, not the smartphone market. It's not clear that the author realises this. Maybe it's a very subtle and sophisticated jab about how these kind of numbers are meaningless without proper analysis. On the other hand, they may have just been desperate to create any kind of graph that shows Apple's bar as bigger than the rest. The reasoning given for showing the second graph at all certainly supports that theory. Strange, given their closing sentence: "Please, lift your game. Go beyond grabbing the simplest number you can find and using it as the basis for useless, potentially misleading conclusions."
