According to Strategy Analytics (http://www.engadget.com/2014/10/29/xiaomi-may-be-third-biggest-smartphone-maker/), however, that story may no longer actually be the case. In its latest look at the state of the industry, Apple and Samsung both shipped an estimated 74.5 million devices in the last three months of 2014, making them joint first in the shipments race. Of course, this was the first period where both the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus were made available, but even still, those are some hefty numbers.
