Samsung Galaxy S III dethrones iPhone as world's top seller

This title basically sums it all up, The Samsung Galaxy S III is now the worlds top seller when it comes to the smartphone industry. I am shocked at this new development, the iPhone in my mind is the far superior product in comparing the two devices. The last four years have been dominated by the iPhone in the smartphone industry, but it obviously appears that in recent years the Samsung Galaxy was able to close the gap. "For years tech pundits have been searching for an "iPhone" killer -- a mythical new device that would dethrone Apple's mighty handset as the most admired or popular smartphone." Everyone knew that this "fake" device will come into the industry and overthrow the superior Apple product. Many people highly invested in the industry were wondering where or when that product will come around and now there is a thought that it could possibly be here. "For the first time, Samsung's Galaxy S III overtook Apple's iPhone 4S to become the world's best-selling smartphone model for the third quarter (July through September) of 2012, according to new research by Strategy Analytics." The Galaxy S III shipped 18 million units worldwide, compared with 16.2 million for the iPhone 4s. This is about 11% of all smartphones shipped on the planet. It appears to be clear who the top two players are in the industry but determining who will be in the number one spot appears to be unknown for the current time and in the future. It is believed that these numbers will change with the release of the new Apple iPhone 5. The recent ads have helped Samsung's overall cause in trying to attract customers to buy their product. "Yes, this is the phone in those mocking TV ads that show annoying fanboys and fangirls in a thinly disguised Apple store line, obsessing over their impending purchase while a happy Galaxy S III owner saves a place in line ... for his parents."This article is very interesting and was something I was very surprised to see, it will be intriguing to see what develops in the future.
