OMG, are you blind? Do you not see the "smartphone sales data" and "* 12 w/e 25th November 2012" in the Kantar report? Why do you think they even put the disclaimer for "* 12 w/e 25th November 2012" if you think this is for all time? And, no need to call sissy names, bud.
For me yes... if you have an item you did not pay for, even if it was NOT your fault I believe it should be returned. I know the majority would say "It's not my fault they sent me a phone" or "Apple is a billion dollar company what's the big deal". I say sure it's not your fault and sure they are a billion dollar company but right is right and wrong is wrong. Keeping something given to you in error is stealing in my opinion. Many will differ in that opinion but again, that's what makes people that do the right thing "better".
I've been fortunate with apple returns and really have only had minor issues.

And I honestly don't know why you're getting that treatment. I've only had a few issues in the past year or so since around midway through 2011, but I've had no problems with customer service. That's really crappy for you because I think those discolorations should be grounds for return (it is only cosmetic, but it's actually brown, that's not right). But for the OP to claim that all of Apple QC has gone down the toilet over what we've seen with the iPhone 5 is an untrue blanket statement.
I had dropped it in the FedEx box beforehand and then I called them to tell them it was on it's way back to them. The guy sounded genuinely impressed that I was so honest, and that made me feel good. So I have no regrets about sending it back. I just wish Apple would come through for me now. I feel like a sucker even though I shouldn't. It wasn't mine to begin with.

Again, when you post something like this:
and then this:
It just tells me that you have no idea what you are talking about. You can't just make claims to the contrary just because you don't believe the actual number doesn't fall within a specified confidence interval.
You might wan't to read up of how hypothesis testing works in general:

How about we use a statistic that is more concrete? Like http://www.google.com/finance?q=NASDAQ:AAPL. Apple stock is down over 25% since the iPhone 5 launch. Great trainwreck.

Screen issues on the first 2, home button not working properly on the 3rd, and the last one had a front plate that was popped out slightly in the top right hand corner that would constantly click.
And that has what to do with sales statistics? Stock prices do not equate to sales figures for a single device.
You did the right thing, and that's what matters.
i hope, eventually you get your phone issues resolved. I'd try setting up another Genius appointment. Best of luck.
You don't think a 25% drop in stock price after the launch of the iPhone 5 reflects something is shrinking at Apple? Like say marketshare. A 25% drop is huge for any company.
HAHA you used the stock price to measure the companies performance. LOL! Firstly what matters is market capitalisation and furthermore going by your naive theory amazon is selling its products like hotcakes. Amazon is trading at ~3000 times what it should and Apple nearly ~1/2 of what it should. When Apple sold 37 million iPhones in one quarter no one had any idea they would sell that many a week before the numbers were announced and the same thing will happen here. You are resorting to any figure in your head despite how irrelevent it is to try and say that Apple is not dominating the US market when me and many others have sent you links and concrete data in relation to iphone sales and you are going on about stock prices xD
No, stock prices can change because people freak out over stupid stuff. People make a living by manipulating the stock prices for competing companies.
I'm a chick...but np, lol
Be careful with that. Guys may flock to you now. Keep that info to yourself.
Keep it secret. Keep it safe.
It is sentiment which is short term only. Long term profits and sales win out, not even market share. Going off that 50% market share solid conclusions can be drawn that sales are going well. Nothing is shrinking apple has grown year over year by massive amounts and wont stop for a long time.

This.
LOL - i'm not that old....YET.
hell, this thread has gone haywire. must be a full moon.

Thanks for providing this link. I take back everything I said about the report regarding Apple's iPhone 5 market share.
Majority is iOS side but OSX at least for us is a problem.
I owned several iPhones & iPods and they all had to visit the Genius Bar.
Like I said I'm Mac user for life but it's now getting to the point that I feel like I have to spend money on Apple Care. It's ********** up.
3 of 4 iMac's HDD crashed. I'm getting the new 27" in January, it's my second iMac and will be buying Apple Care. I sold my old 24" Mid-2007, HDD crashed.

I feel your pain. My one-year-old iMac is already having fan issues...it's ridiculous that we have to spend another $200 on warranty when we've already paid a premium on apple's computers.

No. A stock reflects expectations of future cash flows, among a plethora of other factors.
You do realise that Apple's P/E is still far less than many comparable companies within the industry?
Virtually all of Apple's key revenue drivers are growing. This growth has been priced in for years now.
What do you think happens to a stock when investors no longer believe that a certain rate of growth (which has already been priced in) will be attained?
Even after adjusting for exogenous market factors, a stock with a +ve outlook on earnings growth can very well drop if the rate of growth is not in-line with what has been priced in.
