How is that headline more accurate? The original one clearly states the facts, that the S3 had more sales than the 4S in this quarter, making it the best selling piece of hardware. And the article itself says that this was probably because of the iPhone 5 release.

I don't understand why you're so quick to defend Apple by changing the metric, despite nobody saying that this is any sort of "victory" for Samsung. It's an obvious result of the iPhone 5 release, it will be on top of the charts the next quarter as usual. If you're going to make it an iPhone vs. Android thing then you should compare the sales of all iPhones and all Android phones, you can't pick and choose a few from each category.
