Likewise, I really doubt that all the African countries marked as iPhone really are "iPhone territory".

The key sentence is this article is:

> Published by Electronics Hub, [these maps] are based on a qualitative analysis of almost 350,000 tweets worldwide that presented positive, neutral, and negative attitudes toward Android and/or Apple."

It's a jump in logic to conclude general consumer preferences as the article does:

> Now the results are in: worldwide, consumers clearly prefer one side — and it's not Steve Jobs'.

I don't think Twitter users are good representatives of general consumer preferences, especially in countries where Twitter is not widely popular. And that's just for starters.
