As negative as the sentiment has turned on Apple, it's important to remember that the iPhone has substantially outsold the Galaxy franchise over the last few years.

Despite the doom and gloom talk surrounding Apple, its iPhone franchise has still vastly outsold Samsung Electronics' own Galaxy lineup.
That's according to Raymond James analyst Tavis McCourt, who compiled the cumulative sales of the [url="http://www.cnet.com/iphone-4/"] iPhone 4[/url], 4S, and 5 and stacked them against the Galaxy S and [url="http://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones/samsung-galaxy-note-unlocked/4505-6452_7-35003942.html"] Galaxy Note[/url] smartphones. In total, Apple outsold Samsung 219 million to 131 million.

"Although undoubtedly Samsung's Galaxy lineup has been tremendously successful, given the sudden negative sentiment related to iPhone, we thought it would be interesting to compare Galaxy sales vs. iPhone sales over the last two and a half years," he said in a research note issued today.
Samsung has surged over the past few years as the undisputed leader in handsets and smartphones. That's largely in part due to the success of its Galaxy S flagship lineup. The company, however, has also seen its market share rise thanks to a wide ranging portfolio of phones and [url="http://reviews.cnet.com/tablets/"] tablets[/url], not all of which are as profitable or noteworthy.
Apple, meanwhile, has seen its stock slump on fears that demand for its latest iPhone 5 has dropped, prompting the company to cut display orders. There has been an increasing outcry that the iPhone has lost its cachet as people gravitate toward Samsung Android phones instead.
The cries over the lack of innovation began with the debut of the iPhone 4S, and echoed further with the introduction of the iPhone 5. While both solid phones, neither did much to up the ante in terms of features, with the iPhone 5's marquee additions being features that Android phones have long enjoyed.
Still, that didn't prevent the iPhone 5 from having its usual frenzied launch, and the company has said it is the fastest selling iPhone in history.
McCourt noted that Apple actually extended the iPhone lead over the Galaxy lineup over the course of last year.
The cumulative total also includes the slower ramp up of Galaxy sales early on. While the iPhone 4 was a blockbuster from the get-go, Samsung had a much more modest start with the various Galaxy S, with the first generation coming in the U.S. in four different versions under different names. It wasn't until the Galaxy S II that it began to see more momentum.
Things are different now. Kevin Packingham, chief product officer for Samsung's U.S. mobile division, said Galaxy S III sales actually spiked after the launch of the iPhone 5, and analysts have noted that it continues to be a top-selling phone at all of the carriers. Earlier this week, Samsung said it [url="http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57563765-94/samsung-weve-sold-100-million-galaxy-s-smartphones/"]sold 100 million Galaxy S[/url] phones.
