The processor improvements are more than just "slight". Try looking at some of the benchmarks.

As for market share... Apple doesn't chase market share. If it did it would release a cheaper phone, but it's not fussed about that.

Still, anyway... Although Apple's global share has dipped (which happens in the quarter before a refresh), it is actually still the number 1 smartphone manufacturer in the US, above Samsung, HTC, Motorola and LG. That share has also increased compared to last year, as has its OS share in the US.

And it's still selling more iPhones year-on-year... 31.2 million in Q3 2013 versus 26 million in Q3 2012.
