I know the phone is popular, but this a bit shocking. .

That's very true. Good point. We shall see what happens this holiday season, into next year of course.But what the article fails to miss is the Note 7. With that being taken off the market something had to fill that void. Some went to the iPhone. I think you'd be surprised this time next year with the numbers.
Yup, most loyalists won't budge from any ecosystem no matter how locked down it is unfortunately. Sad, but true.The iPhone has the US on lock. Most loyalists who have an iPhone will continue to buy Apple due to their ease of use, simplicity, familiarity, iMessage and FaceTime. It's keeps them locked into their ecosystem and every year Apple adds some blown up feature and markets the heck outta of it to keep them lining up
You beat me to it. Lol. The other side of it is the fact that the S7 and S7 Edge sold very well last year and continued to sell after the Note 7 debacle. That means you have a lot of Samsung users without an upgrade. I do think it's a recovery period for Samsung and apple definitely capitalized on the Note 7 issue.The iPhone has the US on lock.

Good for you. Honestly, the galaxy s8's are terrific phones. People are correct of course though, consumers are just "locked" into apple's ecosystem for such things as message, FaceTime, etc. Google is trying their best with certain platform apps , its just the sheer amount of users that's all. I'll never give into their locked down propriterariness though. Just saying.I'm one of those Apple loyalist. I actually got tired of everything being locked down by Apple. But I finally came back to give Android another try. I ended up with the S8 Plus. Im really glad l did.
Don't get me wrong, apple makes quality products and I have actually tried to use an iPhone once but it just wasn't for me. I really wish Google would make a universal messenger similar to imessage for Android. Allo was suppose to be it but no.Yes also very true indeed. .
Touche, me too. I am using Samsung messaging, which I do absolutely love.Don't get me wrong, apple makes quality products and I have actually tried to use an iPhone once but it just wasn't for me.

Apple had their fans as does Android.
Yeah, much to locked down for me. I don't want a company telling me how to use my phone, I want to use it how I want too.Good for you. Honestly, the galaxy s8's are terrific phones.

Agreed. Maybe one day we will have a solid universal messaging service but until then, there are plenty of apps to get you thruTouche, me too. I am using Samsung messaging, which I do absolutely love.
Very true. Even comparing year over year Samsung numbers isn't fair. The S7 came out earlier in the same time period than the S8.This title is so misleading. The 3month period ending in April had more iPhone sales because the s8 was released on April 21st! Of course the iPhone had more sales, the s8 was only available to buy for like 9 days.....
Yup plenty of other apps at the moment for awesome looking themed out messaging. That's the other main idea that I've always been into.Agreed. Maybe one day we will have a solid universal messaging service but until then, there are plenty of apps to get you thru
Oh yeah, no question, the theming and customization of android is bar none superior.Yup plenty of other apps at the moment for awesome looking themed out messaging. That's the other main idea that I've always been into.
Not just of Android, but of the galaxy theming engine. I have my entire phone themed out completely themed out in cars. It's pretty awesome !Oh yeah, no question, the theming and customization of android is bar none superior.
