Market leader does not mean 'majority of worldwide smartphone market share'. It usually means something more like 'has the largest part of the pie' (but is the pie sales or installed base or column inches?) and as far as I can tell that started being true of Apple in 2011 in terms of worldwide share. In terms of US share, Apple dominated for a really long time (and maybe still does, I haven't seen the latest figures for US). The whole thing is a weird quibble anyway. It comes across as quite childish to me - 'team A is now beating team B', 'yeah well, team B was never winning anyway and doesn't even want to win, actually they're playing a totally different game and anyway team A smells and they copied team B'. This story isn't even about Apple, it's about Samsung. Why are we talking about Apple?
