Wow....this is some next level ignorance man. You do know that Samsung sold 11 million Galaxy S5s in a month while Apple has sold 10 million iPhones 6s 3 days right?
No, just that there is more variety to pick from the android market, which is why android phones overall have a bigger market share and presence right now compared to apple. Which is a bit of the point that the OP was making that the new iPhone 6 is going to change the current market share dynamic.
There is better distribution and more variety of of android phones along with staggered releases that the iphone doesn't have a sole product. There are many brand loyal customers. The less variety there is in brands, the more brand loyal the customers become. You have Apple that makes basically 1 phone product and that is pitted against multiple product lines from many companies like Samsung, Sony, LG, HTC, Motorola, and others. Not to mention Window phone competition as well. So as a result there is going to naturally be a little demand per single android product as there would be for the iphones.
In the US iOS has a 41% market share as of Q2 2014 which is nothing to sneeze at. Android makes up 52% of the market share with Samsung having the largest portion of that at 27%. Mainly due to several successful product lines which is the Galaxy, Note, and other product lines. But that android space is in heavy competition.
Worldwide marketplace is a completely different picture. Apple is barely on the map for world sales with 11% of the market share there. 85% of that market and world wide sales is Android phones with Samsung again dominating there.
Apple demand is a local US thing, and that is in large part due to a rabid fanbase. Previous iPhone releases followed a similar trend of the majority of sales happening for the new device the day of. The difference in customer mentality, smaller selection of product lines, and smaller distribution chain are the reason why there is long waiting lines for the latest Apple phone on the day of release. But it also tends to play out faster. The sales are mostly all lumped up front as most of the sales are just upgrades for existing customers. The actual market share for Apple iPhones hasn't grown even with the current iPhone 6 release. Which means that iPhones aren't drawing in new customers from other platforms in droves.
Mistaking the zeal and actions of the current apple customers with the idea that Apple is gaining in popularity is just that. A mistake.
I am not saying here that Apple products are bad at all .The iPhone 6 is a great and usable phone. I know all the people that buy one are going to be very pleased with their purchase. I am happy for them. If Apple actually had gone further with their phone to include things that my G3 has, I might have held off for one and bought one. I didn't though because it just didn't do everything I want out of my phone yet. It is not the phone for me now. I don't have brand loyalty either as I've owned Samsung, LG, Nokia, Apple, and HTC. I go for the phone that is available, in my price range, and suits my needs. This time around it was the G3, who knows what the future holds.
Still, the point I want to reiterate, in rebuttal to the OP and the comments I was quoting, is that the initial sales of the iPhone 6 doesn't mean jack in proving that the iPhone 6 is the next messiah in the smart phone world here as the one phone to rule them all. Apple isn't going to see much of a market share increase by the end of this year in either the domestic market place, and certainly not abroad.
