Although I would not have thought that the iPhone would have very good sales during this period, the device from Apple seems to have higher sales than all Android terminals combined, conform American analysts. I'm only talking about sales in the US, where AT&T and Sprint sell as many iPhone terminals as Android terminals, and yes, I'm talking about 3 iPhone models that sell better than several dozen Android models combined. At the moment, iPhone 4S and Samsung Galaxy S II seem to be the devices that register the best sales with American operators, but iPhone 4S occupies the first place in the charts of the 3 operators that sell it in their own network.
Our March checks indicated the iPhone continues to extend its market share gains. In fact, we believe iPhones are outselling all other smartphones combined at Sprint and AT&T and selling at roughly equal volume to all Android smartphones at Verizon. Our global checks also indicated another quarter of strong market share gains for Samsung, particularly in Europe and Asia. In fact, we believe Samsung's strong smartphone portfolio across all price tiers will result in Samsung's smartphone shipments increasing a remarkable 15%-plus sequentially during the seasonally weak March quarter.
Although Apple records very good sales with its iPhones, Samsung does not fare too badly either because the company's devices are quite well seen by users and register a fairly high demand, but Samsung has the advantage of a much more elaborate offer. I don't think that Apple will sell 37 million iPhone terminals in this fiscal quarter, but there is a good chance that it will sell a little over 30 million units considering that the iPhone 4S is still popular, but in the coming months many interesting Android terminals will be available .
