Apple's iPhone 5 outsold Samsung's Galaxy S3 by about 12 million units in the last quarter of 2012, Strategy Analytics reported on Wednesday. That, according to the research firm, makes the iPhone
5 the world’s top selling smartphone. “That's not terribly surprising,” Fortune notes. “What is surprising is that … the iPhone 4S -- discounted by Apple when the new
model came out -- also overtook the Galaxy S3.”
