Predictions

Background

Apple and Samsung are two of the largest smartphone manufacturers in the world. Apple prizes it's iPhone while Samsung has pretty much succeeded with it's Android smartphones in the Samsung S series. Last year, Samsung momentarily overtook Apple in smartphone sales but with the results of the final quarter out, Apple is back in the game and leading. Samsung's quarterly reports tell that it sold 36.5 million smartphones in Q4 whereas Apple has sold about 37 million, clearly on the first position, again.
