Isn't it the Android fans who love to brag about X-million new "activations" every day and XX% market share?
They never fail to vocalize, in the most juvenile of language, how "special" I'm not for using an iPhone.
Ah, but those who bought the 4S will. As will those who decided to try WP7 and ICS...
most of the iphone 4 users would be due for an upgrade now and most skip the iphone 4s so I'm pretty sure the iphone 5 will sell like hot cakes, millions of it
Honestly, this kinda sums up Apple. It's almost always lower numbers that get the same (or better) performance... because the software is designed to make the best use of every component.
Reminds me of the G3 megahertz-myth days..
LMAO! You got me with the 'cargo' pants line. Classic!
I was just cracking jokes at a colleague at work who got the S3, telling him he needs all his pant pockets altered lol. Glad I'm not the only one

You think people that have passed on to the other side of death concern themselves with retail product sales numbers?
That is the most jacked-up view of spirituality I've ever come across!
If there is any chance Steve has any sort of contact with his Earthly experiences then I'm sure he's wondering how the company he built is doing...
Thanks for the info. wonder how long it will take for a jailbreak of it?
Current devices have already have a 6.0 JB but it's still not released yet from what I hear.
That is one of the most boring ideas of the afterlife conceivable. If anyone in the next life is concerned about money and sales numbers back here, the afterlife isn't really worth looking forward to...
I would be included in this group. Not happy I have to wait until October 9 to upgrade.

You obviously didn't know what kind of man he was.
There is much more competition amongst android phones whereas if you want ios you have one option. Id expect the iphone to smash all individual android records.
Why not just pre-order it and have it sent to your house? You'll get it in a month and won't have to do any type of travel. Also, they charge your card when it ships.
With regard to online sales to individuals, revenue is recognized when the customer receives the product. So only those sales for which delivery is made by September 29th will be recognized in the September quarter. (Apple's FY 2012 ends on September 29th.)
With regard to sales to third-party resellers, for the most part revenue is recognized when the product is shipped to them.
