That's just an anecdote, not data. Samsung has confirmed that it's devices sold, not shipped.

I apologize for my previous flippant grammar-Nazi comment. I was on thin ice as it was, but that I was also wrong—that is inexcusable!

it's != its

The parent comment quotes an original source with two examples of this error, but you are not obligated to repeat it. :-)

Compare

"Samsung has confirmed that it is [the number of] devices sold [that the number refers to]."

with

"Samsung has confirmed that its [Samsung's] devices have sold in quantity."

I think the snake was right. :)

Good Lord, I'm mortified, and apologize to the snake and to everyone else. It looks like my anti-it's zealotry has finally crossed the line.
