Well ok I have to argue a few things. First, this is Android vs iPhone. Not Android vs iOS. Does it count iPod Touches? iPads? No. Its just smartphones - iPhone.

So hundreds of Android models across huge vast arrays of carriers is barely beating ONE model from a smaller number of carriers? But if you put Android against iOS truly, iOS wins.

I'm just saying.
