Apple overtakes Samsung in Q4 2016

According to the latest reports and analysis Apple overtook Samsung company in terms of sale and market share in the 4th quarter of 2016. Apple became the world's largest smartphone vendor in Q4 2016, kicking away Samsung.

Considering the result Apple sold nearly around 439 million units.

Strategy Analytics , an independent research firm confirmed that the smartphone shipment and sales grew by 3 % globally. According to the firm around 1.5 billion units were shipped in year 2016.

Apple managed to jump over Samsung in terms of sales in Q4 2016 by shipping around 78.3 Millon units worldwide which is approximately 800,000 more units than Samsung shipped during Q4 2016.

Apple managed to regain top place in charts by retaining 18 % global share in the market.


Apple raised it's bar by increasing it's share by 5% from 74.8 million. All this happened because of the silly mistake done by Samsung. By saying silly mistake I'm talking about Samsung's Note 7 battery botch. Samsung's Note 7 battery failure caused company a dip of 5% in their market share to 77.5 % which was previously 81.3 million according to the records of sales of Q4 2015.

Somehow Samsung managed to hold 1st position if considered annually , despite of the Q4 2016 results which was favoured to Apple. Huawei  managed to hold the 3rd position, and 4th position is acquired by OPPO.

Stay tuned for more . :)

How to Hard Reboot an iPhone or iPad

No one can easily doubt over the engineering efforts made by Apple. Despite of that there are some chances that your iPhone or iPad might stop working, by which I mean it stops responding to your touch. At that moment you need to reset your iPhone and considering the worst scenario no matter how long you hold the power button the power off option doesn’t show up. This condition may arise due to any software bug or unwanted behaviour of any app. In such cases there is  a straightforward method to resolve it , which involves forcing your device to reboot. This method is termed as reset or hard restart which is done by holding down the combination of 2 buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds or more. By doing so all running processes will be cleared and the device will be rebooted forcibly. Talking about iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, the Home button is not a physical button anymore. So the button combination is bit different in these devices than their predecessor. ...

Sony Playstation 4  is nearing 60 million consoles sold and with Microsoft's XBox Scorpio Project out now, Ps4 is soon to become an inferior machine from a specs perspective. Logic would point to Sony having to respond in some fashion .So could PlayStation 5 be a retaliation to XBox's 4K consoles as soon as 2018? When will Ps5 be coming out? Marketing analyst Damian Thong and Michael Pachter have both individually predicted Sony to release Ps5 in 2018. Does 2018 seem too soon????? Yeah,it would if you just bought a Ps4 pro in 2016.
