Apple's iPhone is not the world's best-selling smartphone. It has been dethroned by Samsung's Galaxy S3. According to a recent study, Apple sold 16.2 million smartphones in the third quarter of 2012, while Samsung sold 18 million S3 handsets. Fox News states this is the first time in years the iPhone wasn't ranked first in global sales.
Samsung is still the top mobile OEM in the US, although Apple is very slowly trying to catch up. Rounding out the top five are LG, Motorola, and HTC, all of which continue to lose market share.
