This statement makes no sense. Do you want to buy stock in Apple? If so, poor grammar. If you speak of Apple products, yes, you can have too many. You certainly don't need 10 iPhones for a family of 3.
Got a tip for us?

I just surveyed the 25 people in my office sitting closest to me, and only 2 even KNEW the iPhone 5 was coming out and none planned to buy. This is actually true. If I extrapolate this sample set to the entire US population, then the iPhone 5 will sell zero units. Case closed.

Holy crap. 41%. That's like the biggest market share ever. Damn. Apple doing big things. Damn, 41% of MOBILE PHONE USERS. That's quite a few people.
Duh! I totally agree with that. I guess you didn't even bother to read my post.
You.
I never said that the survey was right or wrong. I bet they only surveyed some 100 people.
Also, read my first post and see what I'm talking about.
Surveys, reports, stories, etc. like this show the difference between the tech and the Wall Street crowds.
The techies read this stuff and roll their eyes.
The Wall Street crowds reads this stuff and thinks they are now more in touch with the technology consumer.

And add to that, that not every citizen of the US is a mobile phone user. So the number is actually smaller than 100,000,000.
Thanks, I couldn't find that information anywhere on any of the articles referring to this survey, including the company's own press release:

OK, Interesting Survey - OK, I know what to do, I should go start a line in front of an Apple Store right now.
And just in the USA. Given that Apple sold a quarterly record breaking 18.65 million units WORLDWIDE in Q2, 2011, that would mean about 75 million WORDWIDE if this record breaking pace was sustained for a full year. The survey would indicate 100+ million sales in the USA ALONE. Right. When people do surveys like this (or even then repost here), they really need to lift there heads and see if the actual extrapolated results make any sense whatsoever.
