Analyst: Here’s Proof the iPhone Outsells Samsung

Did anyone say iPhone demand is dropping off? Raymond James analyst Tavis McCourt does not believe it. Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, and iPhone 5 have together outsold Samsung’s (SSNLF.PK) Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series of phones, according to McCourt’s findings. While Samsung’s smartphone, and now phablet, lineup has been “tremendously successful” over the years, the “sudden negative sentiment related to [the] iPhone” prompted McCourt to make the comparison. He charted out his findings to find that the fears of Apple doubters may have been unfounded.
