Wrong! You obviously don't know shyt because the 70 million iPhones sold in 1Qtr that you're mentioning is TOTAL worldwide, not for the U.S.
"Like I said", a 200 Billion loss for Apple in 2016 based on the iPhone's declining sales is always worse than a 7 Billion dollar gain for Samsung (3rd Qtr 2016) any day of the week!
iPhone 7 Shipments Won’t Be Enough To Revive Apple Inc. Sales
Gartner said in a report that growth in the worldwide smartphone market will slow this year to just 4.5%. The slowdown is mainly because the research firm expects the sales of premium smartphones to decline by 1.1% for the full year. A decline in premium smartphone sales won’t be a good sign for Apple, which has seen the iPhone sales decline for the first time since launch.
Gartner analyst Roberta Cozza said the worldwide iPhone sales will continue to decline in the third and fourth quarters of 2016 despite the launch of iPhone 7 and 7 Plus.
Issues that iPhone 7 users are facing
Ever since the launch of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, users have been complaining about several issues. For instance, the iPhone 7 users on Verizon are facing LTE connectivity issues. The phones randomly drop the LTE signal and fall back to 3G. Meanwhile, BMW owners have complained that their brand new iPhone 7 and 7 Plus would not connect to the infotainment system in their cars via Bluetooth for some reason.
And now several iPhone 7 and 7 Plus buyers have taken it to social media and various forums to complain about an Activation Lock issue. Users reported that their iPhones were linked to Apple ID email addresses that did not belong to them. With a wrong Apple ID appearing there, you can’t sign in and setup the iPhone. The issue appears when users turn on the device for the first time.
Sales are so in the dumps Apple won't even report the numbers for the iPhone 7.
Apple (AAPL) won’t reveal opening weekend iPhone sales, claims logistics, reasons
With a big question mark over whether the iPhone 7 will be perceived as a genuine new model or a second S-year, all eyes were going to be on the opening weekend sales numbers. It seems we’re not going to get the chance, however: Apple has just told CNBC that it will not be revealing this information.
The company claims that the decision was made for logistical reasons …
Initial sales will be governed by supply, not demand, and we have decided that it is no longer a representative metric for our investors and customers. Therefore we won’t be releasing a first-weekend number any longer.
The company says that its guidance for the quarter remains unchanged, which is for revenue of between $45.5B and $47.5B. If accurate, this would represent a significant year-on-year decline fromlast year’s $51.5B.
The announcement is likely to come as a disappointment to investors and analysts, who use opening weekend numbers to gauge the popularity of a new model.
Lol breh the iPhone outsold the galaxy period. You can cherry pick a quarter but the total numbers ain't even close.
Lol they sold 70 million plus iPhones in just 1 quarter breh.
Wrong! You obviously don't know shyt because the 70 million iPhones sold in 1Qtr that you're mentioning is TOTAL worldwide, not for the U.S.
Keep sayin 200 bill loss. The fact that Apple can take it and still be way ahead of Samsung tells you how far behind Samsung is.
Lol can't even buy a note 7 anymore breh lol
Wrong once more iStan. Again total numbers for both Samsung's Galaxy S7 & the iPhone sales in the U.S HAVEN'T BEEN TALLIED FOR THE 2016 CALENDAR YEAR! The numbers you quoted like most of your information is INCORRECT!
200 Billion dollars lost in less than one complete year is a major fail for Apple no matter how you try and twist it!
Samsung says it is adjusting Note 7 supply due to fire reports
Reuters with CNBC
5 Hours AgoReuters
Samsung Electronics said on Monday it is adjusting shipment volumes for Galaxy Note 7 smartphones due to reports of some of the devices catching fire.
Samsung, in a statement, said the adjustments were being made in order to conduct in-depth inspections and to improve quality control. The firm did not elaborate further.
The comments come after a Yonhap News Agency report suggested that the company had suspended production of its phablet device, in what is a further setback for the tech giant trying to manage its worst ever phone recall crisis.
Samsung's decision to temporarily halt Note 7 production was done in cooperation with authorities in China and the United States, as two U.S. carriers have stopped exchanging or selling new Note 7 phones,Yonhap News Agency cited an unnamed source at a Samsung partner firm as saying.
AT&T, the No.2 U.S. wireless carrier, said on Sunday it will stop exchanging new Note 7 smartphones due to reports of fires from replacement devices that Samsung has said used safe batteries.
No.3 wireless carrier T-Mobile US said it was temporarily halting sales of new Note 7s as well as exchanges while Samsung investigated "multiple reports of issues" with its flagship device.
T-Mobile offered customers who brought in their Note 7s a $25 credit on their phone bill.
Samsung announced on Sept. 2 a global recall of 2.5 million Note 7s in 10 markets including the United States due to faulty batteries causing some of the phones to catch fire.
A Southwest Airline flight was evacuated earlier this week after a replacement model Note 7 smartphone began smoking inside the plane, according to the family who owns the phone.
Samsung earlier said it was investigating reports of "heat damage issues" and would share its findings when the investigation is complete.
"If we determine a product safety issue exists, Samsung will take immediate steps approved by the CPSC (U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission) to resolve the situation," Samsung told Reuters in a statement.
South Korea's largest mobile carrier, SK Telecom, said it was closely monitoring the situation and would not comment further. KT Corp, the No.2 South Korean carrier, said it had taken no steps in regards to sales or exchange of new Note 7s.
The Saga Continues
Lol I can already tell you the iPhone outsold the Galaxy breh.
Us carriers have stopped sellin the note 7, most of Europe won't even sell it and now Samsung is stopping production
Lol can't even buy a note 7 anymore breh lol
What's the new SD card promotion?damn...

on the one hand, if I do, I can cash in on the latest promo again and cop another sd card
probably gonna weigh my options today
You can tell me shyt without official data (which you don't have), so quit talking out of your ass provide The Coli the total U.S numbers for the complete 2016 calendar year (for all 4 quarters) for Galaxy s7 & iPhone sales
Don't worry, I'll wait!
The U.S & most of Europe isn't the entire world
Thought you said though:
Well 2016 isn't over yet but I can tell you the iPhone has outsold the Galaxy, lol the 6s was even outselling the Galaxy s7 and that came out last year
Lol I can already tell you the iPhone outsold the Galaxy breh.
Oh, so now you're copping pleas & backtracking now after you stated that the iPhone has sold more than the Galaxy s7 in the U.S for all of 2016?
Exactly what I thought iTroll!
I slept on it and I had a change of heart. If they do another replacement I'll go with that. It's still my phone of choice.I don't really want to go back to the S7 and I like Samsung Pay too much to buy another brand of Android phone.This is idiotic at this point, I'm done. Question is, what to exchange it for and making sure I get the full value for what I paid for on the phone.
Lol your comprehension skills must be lacking. There was no backtracking. The iPhone outsold the Galaxy. At this rate by the end of year it'll be even more of a disparity.
