According to market intelligence firm Parks Associates, Samsung is closing the gap. "Apple remains the dominant smartphone manufacturer in the U.S., but Samsung is catching up," said Mobile Product Research Director Harry Wang in a Parks Associates press release.

While the press release doesn't go into detail, losing U.S. market share is not what Apple investors want to hear.
