It appears that Apple is losing its glory of the World’s top smartphone selling vendor to the Korean based company and one of the biggest rivals of the Apple, Samsung. It is reported that Samsung had beaten the Apple in smartphone sales in the past Q3 quarter. Along with it is also reported by the analyst firm that China’s handset maker ZTE also beats the Apple in the production of smartphones, and become’s the world’s No. 4 mobile phones maker.
Apple was on No.3. From last three-months, but with the announcement of Q3 earning Apple reveals that they have actually broken the hopes of an analyst and lost their glory in front of other mobile manufacturers. In the start of year, Apple beat the Nokia and become the top-selling smartphone manufacturer but with the hearing of Q3 earnings, Samsung gained the title from Apple.

According to the earning reports, during Q3 ZTE shipped more than 18.5 million cell phones, , a jump from 14 million devices during the same period in 2010, research firm Strategy Analytics announced Thursday. At the same time, Apple shipped only 17.1 million iPhones, up from 14.1 million devices in the third quarter of 2010, but interestingly down from 20.34 million from the previous quarter of the year.
Researchers point out that Apple lost its glory due to a big gap in the introduction of the new device, and also the rumors of iPhone 5 had just destroyed the sales of the third quarter of this year. On the other side, ZTE and Samsung gain a lot of popularity among customers by their complex pricing on the introduction of new Android smartphones. However, Apple’s CEO Tim Cook claimed that “One of every six dollars the tech giant earned during fiscal 2011 reportedly came from China’s sales” while talking to the press reporters

Once again, we are here with the long going patents battle between two biggest tech companies of the world. Apple and Samsung have been suing each other from last few months, and we have seen that Apple has achieved several cases against the products of Samsung and gain several injunctions against the sales of Samsung Galaxy Tab in Australia.

It appears right before the launch of iPhone 4S that Samsung is preparing to sue Apple in several different courts and may ask for the preliminary injunction for the iPhone 4S in country’s ground even before the actual launch of the device in the European Countries, where Apple has gained an injunction against its devices. However, it seems that Samsung is out of luck, because a new report claim that Judge has dismissed the Samsung request on iPhone 4S ban and said to first complete your document then knock the ground of a jury.
According to a report of an Italian news website AGI, a judge has just denied the request of Samsung for banning iPhone 4S sales in Italy. The judge asks both companies to provide more information regarding their case each other, and she will review the information later in December, and will announce its decision. The case is definitely not closed, but it sure looks good for Apple. It doesn’t surprise us because Apple has won all the legal battles with Samsung so far.

The legal battle between Samsung and Apple has already disturbed the whole silicon market, as Apple trying at first to make some space from Samsung to freely sue them at different places. As we learned last month that Apple had signed a deal with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) to build the next generation A6 and A7 processors for the future iOS devices such as iPad 3 and iPhone 5.
Samsung was one of the most identical manufacturing partners of the Apple since the days of A4 & A5 processor chips production for the iPhone 4, iPad and iPad 2, but several reports from around the world suggests that Apple has been continuously trying to shift his business to some other manufacture., and therefore they have signed the deal with TSMC for the production of A6 & A7& processor chips.

But now according to the today’s report of the The Korea Times have spin off the whole drama and claimed that Apple is still sticks to the Samsung for the production of A6 for the future iOS devices, while they will develop their processors from the TSMC for the future devices, at this time TSMC has not experienced such demand from any vendor and Apple does not want to take risk on its future devices.
The unconditional shift back to the Samsung for the production of A6 is said to be that TSMC having issues with the production process and Apple requires a stable component supplier for its device, as we all know Apple is also popular for bulk orders from its component manufactures.
