The figures are worldwide, but for 2Q the iPhone 4 was only available in the US market, so only US sales could count. You are putting US-only sales of the iPhone 4 vs. worldwide sales of all Android phones.
And Canalys made it clear that the US is still by far the biggest smartphone market on the planet
Nokia is by far the world's largest smartphone maker, yet has very little of the US smartphone market. How? Because the US isn't the biggest market. What they sell outside of the US puts them on top worldwide.
Yeah?
Did they stop selling iPhone 3’s in the rest of the world (or the US) for Q2? Nope.
Not to mention, the very hot selling Moto Droid X didn't count for Q2 for Android either. Plus hot new Androids from Samsung etc were only just coming out at the very end of Q2 as well.
“You are putting US-only sales of the iPhone 4 vs. worldwide sales of all Android phones.”
ROFL!
I(or rather Canalys) is counting total iPhone sales ALL OVER THE WORLD for Q2, versus total Andriod smartphone sales worldwide for Q2.
“Nokia is by far the world's largest smartphone maker, yet has very little of the US smartphone market. How? Because the US isn't the biggest market. What they sell outside of the US puts them on top worldwide.”
Yeah?
Canalys:
“Canalys also said that the U.S. is the largest smartphone market in the world by a big margin, with 14.7 million phones shipped in the quarter, accounting for 23 percent of global shipments.
Nokia continues to maintain the lead on a worldwide basis, with 38 percent market share in the quarter. It accounted for 76.9 percent of smartphones in China, the second largest smartphone market in the world, followed by Motorola with a 4.7 percent share there, Canalys said. “

The US IS the largest smartphone market on the planet.
