Samsung has more models. Apple has less models. Of course if you account for phone models on an individual basis it is hardly surprising Apple sells more of a given model. So what? What matters is the market segment share. Both companies have different market strategies that is all.

Samsung has like seven Galaxy S5 models alone and that is if you ignore the Galaxy Note and the other smartphone lines they have. They have two Galaxy S6 models so far. The difference is one has a bent edge and the other doesn't have a bent edge.

If people have a choice they will use their choice. So if there are 20 loyal Samsung users and 10 loyal Apple users and Samsung has 3x the models Apple has is it that surprising that more Apple users end up with the same model? Does it matter? Apple's still selling less. I don't give a fuck.

Combined cycle gas generation plants don't mix well with wind and solar. In a grid where a large fraction of the power comes from wind and solar you want to use the gas power plants to cover any renewable production shortfalls so you need to spool the plant up and down frequently. That basically kills any gains you get from using the combined cycle. To get optimum performance with combined cycle you need to run the plant continuously on baseload mode.
