"Apple shipped a total of 40.4 million units, which is a 15% decline year on year from 2015Q2. The new iPhone SE did well in both emerging and developed markets. The iPhone 6s was its best-selling device globally, followed by the SE and 6s Plus."
Comparing all iPhones to just Samsungs Galaxy and Note series is not fair. Apple hangs onto their older devices and the iPhone SE doesn't fall into the same category.
But in the end, it doesnt matter for us consumers

The thing is, I think Samsung sells phones like its galaxy S3 and super old stuff for longer periods because they are in so many emerging markets who buy $150 phones. This inflates their numbers and doesn't cause them to run into the same issues I discussed about cutting edge tech and having a supplier that can produce enough of it, consistently, with very low rejects.
A major reason Apple hasn't gone to QHD AMOLED is because they couldn't get a supplier to manufacture them to their specs and the volume required. Samsung owns its own production of AMOLED displays, while Apple relies on suppliers.
My whole point was Apple cannot just "do whatever" like throw in AMOLED because they rely on suppliers. They also give a shit if it works well or not.
