Apple had 15% of the smartphone market in 2014.
Apple is increasing world-wide, where they recently grabbed over 20%, moving ahead of Samsung!
And in the USA, Apple is over 40%, being the Number one Smartphone manufacturer, and well ahead of Samsung by a large margin! ... :-) ...

Apple has some parts by Samsung, and other parts from elsewhere. They are manufactured by others, yet again.
Samsung can do parts, but they can’t put together a complete consumer product in Apple’s market worth a darn ... LOL ..
That’s the reason why consumers have given Apple has 93% of the smartphone market profits as compared to ALL the other Smartphone manufacturers put together!
That’s capitalism and the free market system for you, where profits signal who has given the consumers what they want ... :-) ...
Yet Apple comes in number ONE again in customer satisfaction. Despite making lots of iterations of their computer, people are wildly satisfied.
