This is share of sales in the last 3 months, not share of devices in the wild. It's no surprise that iPhone's sales share plummeted the last quarter before the 5S release.

#12It's because Europeans are a bunch of idiots. They're dumb enough to let gays ruin their society and their dumb enough to use Windows Phone instead of the vastly superior iPhone. There's no news here, no surprise.

I don't want to feed the troll, but I'm wondering if Topsteed will be selling all of his Apple products

C'mon Topsteed, if you're going to live like a Neanderthal (no offence to Neanderthals), may as well get rid of all your technology and leave HN (and the internet) alone.
Who calls themselves Topsteed?... oh, that's too easy, just go get therapy.

How are these kind of commenters even exist on hacker news?
Well, anybody can register for an account and no community is immune from trolls. They don't last long here though and there's some pretty decent moderation that happens both by the mods and the community itself.

Whenever you see a story about market share, it's for a quarter.

#17As the article points out, has to be the low to mid-range phones. The Lumia 520 costs $100 off contract, which is an amazing deal.
Don't forget iPhones are way more expensive here (in EU) than in the US.

#18Interesting to note that iOS gained share in the US by 5.4% while Android declined by 5.6% in a quarter without new iPhones launching.
There may be some truth to Horace Dediu's hypothesis that Android has peaked in the US.

Don't feed the troll. It'll go away.

#20Is this because Android is more dominant than both of them?
