I cannot see how most of the 6 sales were from switchers. Thats a large statement without backup. Larger sales due to screen size is expected, and there would no doubt be more switchers than usual,but most? Can't see that at all.
Apple selling more than Samsung isn't relevant, thats a different stat from US or global smartphone share. Anecdotally, many Sammy users are going elsewhere for their Android fix.

But only recently there was some last quarter article somewhere that I read a week or three back, that had Android up a little, iOS down a little WP not much change..
You read a lot of articles right? And only one somewhere recently you thought mentioned something similar to what you seem to recall?
Just picking on ya. I'm sure there are stars to fit every argument
Apple iPhone Sales Hurts Android Phones Market Share in 2014
2015 has been a great year for Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). Be it the App store earnings announcements or the sales of its flagship devices, mainly iPhones, everything has been soaring for Apple Inc. This is hurting Android activations as more people are opting for iOS devices and Android smartphone makers are complaining of a sudden fall in their sales.Tim Cook has announced that in Q4 most of the iPhone 6 buyers switched from Android rather than upgrading from the previous version of iPhone series. Android and iOS war is not new. Since, two big companies sell the most handsets of the respective software; Samsung and Apple are always racing each other for the number one spot. Right now it is claimed by Apple again as Samsung is behind the sales numbers for Q4. The statistics show that Android shipments have fallen embarrassingly and Apple sales have been higher and now globally, Apple has more market share for smartphones than Samsung.The lack of innovation by Samsung in 2014 is evident in the loss of the much coveted number one position in the smartphone industry. Apple launched two iPhone sin 2014, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus namely. Although there were rumors like Bendgate and initial iOS update glitches, but Apple came out strong. The trust of its users was significant in this Q4 statistics.
