The Macalope Weekly: Vacation interuptus

So true! iPhone sales were only up 28 percent year-over-year last quarter!

In fact iOS' market share only improved nominally year-over-year.

But it did improve. And, as we keep pointing out--though of you want to talk about this--Apple continues to rake in the largest share of the profit, and its developers consistently make more money. Oh, and then there's , which Burns conveniently neglects to mention.

During Apple's best iPhone quarter, Q1 of 2012, the company moved 33M iPhones--an impressive feat considering there are only three models. Now, during Android's best quarter, there were 98M units sold. There is simply no comparison.

Sure isn't when you don't note how many models of Android phones there are.
