Idea was to get ppl from s2 and from other manufacturers to come to samsung not for s3 owners to go to s4...have you seen ces 2013 if not youtube samsung 2013 ces. I understand s4 doesnt live up to the hype since when dis any phone ever did...Sammy has a launch in may than in october for n3 than Galaxy Q next year

The S4 is a slight bump to the S3. Much like the 4s to the 5. But the article is right, I don't think Samsung has the same dedicated fanbase that Apple does.
AppleInsider is a great Apple news site though it has some pretty rabid fanboys that reside there.

Apple will probably always rule the US market, its where they are their strongest and the most profitable.

I find it funny how the iPhone is rated 9/10 yet has more cons than most android phones
No Sd Card slot
No HD screen
No removable battery
Must have unique Proprietary USB connector
Small screen
Huge bezel
I haven't even mention the software limits

Congradulate samsung! You didn't listen to your customers so listen from others.

it's because there are many android phone makers. they try to kill each other to prove which is the worthy opponent of the iphone.

i doubt it, iphone is really losing its luster. So many good android phones, z10, and new windows phones coming out.

So, maybe next time Samsung should make the phone in a triangular shape with 1000 PPI and an 80 map camera front and back with 10GB of RAM?
Must be nice for a company to make slight changes to its flagship model, 3 years straight, and still sell it (talking about Apple)....only in America can this happen

Oh come on now...Another example of Apple pulling out one of their marketing companies from their back pocket, trying to convince you that the information is true & non-bias.
If Apple isn't trying to sue the competition, their getting their back pocket media companies to write up the smear campaigns instead of listening to what consumer want on their mobile devices.

Even the most dedicated Apple fans will look to the competition for their next device if you fail to address IOS short comings (no SD, NFC, removable battery, sharing between devices, limited video formats, tied to itunes for basic file transfer, etc...) that have been around for years..

Apple users will wake up eventually and ask more of their company.

According to the chart, only Apple will gain share in the US. Yeah, right.

How many people were interviewed for this data to be compiled?
