Apple's growth is even more impressive considering it sells only one (or two, if you count the iPhone 3GS) phone model -- the iPhone 4 -- while all the competitors have more than 10 phone models in their current portfolio.
The fact that the iPhone 4 started selling in 17 new countries this last quarter certainly helped Apple increase its market share, but things are looking good for Apple on all fronts. The fallout from iPhone 4's antenna issues has all but disappeared; Apple itself said it sold 14.1 million iPhones in Q3 2010, a 91% year-over-year increase, and Apple CEO Steve Jobs said the company still has "a few surprises left for the remainder of this calendar year.”
