[url=http://www.forbes.com/sites/chuckjones/2014/06/04/apples-u-s-iphone-market-share-holding-steady/]Statistically speaking[/url], Apple is the leading smartphone maker in the US, followed by Samsung with their Android devices. 

However, worldwide (especially in Asia), Samsung, and Android in general, tends to lead the pack. While Apple and Samsung go back and forth for the title of biggest smartphone manufacturer, iPhones have had a relatively difficult time penetrating international markets where Android devices can offer a wider range of prices and specs. 

So it does seem that [i]only in America[/i] will hordes of people line up for days to pay the iPhone premium.
