    After a failed bid to prove that it was selling state-of-the-art or cutting edge technologies

    Wait, what? What kind of rathole third-world country is this? 
    There's no need to be rude about it.

    DED doesn't need to workout in a gym if he keeps up with such desperate bailing efforts.  The quality of his 'sources' for 'supporting' evidence are dire - twitter? - and as for his logic?  The S7 went on sale in March, so DED quotes an IDC report from APRIL alleging an annual 0.6% decline in overall sales for the preceding year.  So in support of an article alleging the S7 didn't outsell the 6S, he uses as 'evidence' a report that clearly didn't include a single S7 sale.  Brilliant!

    In criticising The Verge for it's story about S7 sales in 2016, he says: "
    The Verge report also ignored the rest of Kantar's data. That includes figures for China, "the world's largest smartphone market," which showed that Samsung has seen its once-leading share in urban markets collapse from 34 percent back in 2014

    Exactly how are supposed Samsung sales in 2014 relevant to an argument about S7 sales in the US in 2016?

    The content of the article doesn't even get close to supporting it's title.  It smacks of war time propaganda.  DED is Apple's Lord Haw Haw.

    Precisely, this whole "article" just went on the defensive for no reason and dug out obscure "facts" that don't even work with the narrative. I'm not even a Samsung fan at all but I just found this whole thing ridiculous. So, Samsung outsold the iPhone in one quarter, what's the big deal? Are us Apple fans really that thin shelled that we need a defensive write up to keep patting ourselves on the back? I'm glad to see Samsung doing well again, because Apple needs some competition to keep itself on it's toes. The absolutely last thing in the world I'd want is for Apple to be the only successful brand as they'd have literally zero reason to want to innovate anymore.

    The Verge and company wrote an article based on ONE quarter's sales where the S7 did outsell the iPhone 6S/Plus and yet we get a long rambling article here which completely misses the point that it was only in one quarter. They weren't even comparing the launch quarters. This is a quarter 8 months after the iPhone was released and a few months after the S7 was released, of course the S7 will have a higher chance of selling more in the later quarters of the year. 

    Yes in overall sales the iPhone did outsell the S7, but that' wasn't what the Verge was referring to.
