    That was predicted or forecast. Where are the actual sales?

    Well let's wait and see - pre-orders certainly slaughters anything Apple have dreamt of.

    Samsung Galaxy S3 is now the most pre-ordered gadget in history at nine million - beating the iPhone 4S's four million

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_III

    Based on live searches and sales using uSwitch Mobile Tracker, the S III ranked ahead of the iPhone 4S, which replaced the Galaxy S II in February as the most popular phone.[212][213] As of July 2012, the S III is still the most popular phone,[214] and is ranked by TechRadar as the No. 1 handset in its constantly-updated list of the 20 best mobile phones

    I think Apple limited the number of pre-order 4S's available.

    Forecast - IIRC - is 40 million for the year

    I'm sure they did - all part of their amazing strategy ... and I bet once the S3 sells more, that'd be part of the plan as well - right?

    *sigh*

    Doesn't compare too well to Apple selling 25+million a quarter. And remember Samsung don't release figures they let all and sundry speculate and thumb suck them.

    Seem to be discrepancies in sales figures.

    Samsung is hammering Motorola, Nokia, BB and HTC more than it is Apple, let's face it.

    As I say - we'll have to see ...

    Btw - that 26 million was a 25% drop from the last quarter.

    Any bets on the next quarter being ever lower again?

    I know Apple is arrogant - but if they're still brushing off Samsung as real competition, I feel sorry for them :/

    Of course with the launch of the new iPhone imminent.

    There's no ways they brushing them off!! They wouldn't be spending so much time in court fighting them if they weren't threatened by them.

    As I said before Samsung's numbers are bullsh.t. Their "preorder" sales are actually orders of stock from carriers where as Apple's sales numbers are units sold to consumers.

    Samsung loves to talk up their "sales" to carriers but not the other end of that relationship: returns and write downs.

    There's a reason they don't release any actual numbers anymore.

    No looks like that's just the 4s. They quote it as sales of their latest smart phone of which 35m were sold to march.

    Sorry but I didn't see this quote about the latest smart phone in the myBB article or the redmondpie article. But I am still guessing the iPhone 4S outsold the S2 and the S3.
