I think Apple is aware that they only make one phone and the trade offs that result. iPhone Q3 sales lagged more than the year before because global rollout is faster and in 2011 they had the midyear CDMA and white iphone launches to buoy Q3. The Galaxy S3 may have outsold the 4S some months and some devices surely will in the future but the claim that it did so in July/August was not supported by much data.
