APPLE'S iPhone continues to dominate the smartphone market, filling six spots in the top 10 devices of the year.
If you're a keen Android user, you should probably avoid reading the latest list of top selling smartphones in 2015.
According to price comparison service USwitch, Apple's iPhone range dominated the top 10.
Apple's hugely successful smartphone took up six spots in the top 10 best-sellers of 2015.
The news comes after Android fans bombarded Apple's first app in the Google Play Store with negative reviews, blasting its users as "iSheep".

The most popular smartphone of the last year was the Apple iPhone 6 with 16GB of internal storage, according to the USwitch data.
It's followed by the iPhone 5S and Apple's latest, the iPhone 6S.
In fact, the first non-Apple device to make the top 10 is Samsung's award-winning Galaxy S6, which is in fifth place.
Unbelievably – only Apple and Samsung feature in the best-sellers list, with no signs of smartphones from the likes of HTC, LG, Sony or Motorola.

However, Samsung has managed to outclass Apple in the phablet stakes – in both size and popularity.
The phenomenal Galaxy Note 4, which stands at an impressive 5.7 inches has outsold the iPhone 6s Plus, and its 5.5 inch display. Although neither feature in the top 10.
The Galaxy Note remains a favourite with stylus lovers, tempting mobile fans with its appealing price tag, super-sized screen and powerful specs.
Unfortunately the South Korean technology firm did not release the Galaxy Note 5 in the UK, although you can read our exclusive hands-on here.

But are we likely to see a shift in the top 10 in 2016?
All the big manufacturers will be launching devices in the coming months with Samsung and HTC expected to be the first to show their hands in 2016.
Samsung is likely to unveil its Galaxy S7 in March and HTC could have a new M10 coming in the same month.
LG's G5 will also be arriving and Sony will no doubt update their Xperia range later in the year.
However, all eyes will be on Apple in the Spring when it's expected to reveal details on the cheaper and smaller iPhone 6c.
September will also see the launch of an iPhone 7 which may finally be waterproof and could feature the end of the headphone port.
One thing we do hope is that everyone follows Motorola's lead and makes all of their devices unbreakable.
