Android continues to increase market share and widen its lead even further from iOS!!! Get it now or do you need a diorama with that?? LMFAO... too funny...

Not true. You need to learn 1) definition of market share and 2) how to interpret data critically. The fact is: what you posted shows unequivocally that before the 4S came out, Android manufacturers enjoyed 61.6% share of the US smartphone market (by units), which dropped to 46.9% post-4S. Concomittantly, Apple's US market share skyrocketed from 25.1% to 44.5%.

If, among your various delusions, you think that user share is the relevant metric rather than market share for a company that sells devices, ask yourself this-- what matters more to Apple's business-- that they sell 30 million iPhones in Q1 or that they have 160 million iPhone users at the end of Q1? Which number will investors gravitate to? Is your expectation of Apple's business tanking predicated on Apple selling fewer iPhones or having fewer iPhone users?
