Does that mean all those reports from around the world concerning iPhone sales slow down might just be inaccurate? Hey samdung PR, what do you think?
As Verizon has no relevance to the rest of the world sadly not. Fact is that various markets outside North America are not looking so good by what I am hearing. Hopefully these whispers are wrong but I wouldn’t bet on it. Certainly not good to be complacent.
Yes; iPhone sales are going to be only late 20s or, at best, early 30s in millions. Apple itself prognosed that.
More transparency needed. How does this number of activations breakdown—Verizon Store vs. Apple Store vs. BestBuy/Costco/WalMart?
Also, to put it in perspective, this is the quarter before a rumored new iPhone model, when some buyers might choose to delay purchase to wait and see. Therefore the situation for Apple iPhone is categorically different from disappointing sales of the Samsung S4, their latest-and-greatest model that was recently-introduced to great-fanfare. (Thought the journalists and analysts might need it spelled out for them. Sheesh.)
I still love my iPhone 5. I MAY get a larger iPhone if one is offered in the future but for now this phone is one solid little puppy. Talk about consumer satisfied – that’s what I am! BUT looking forward to iOS7 which will make it like a new phone all on it’s lonesome. Forever Apple! Looking forward to the new Mac Pro’s and Mac Book Pro’s. 2013 is shaping up nicely.
I think you are right, as with Macs people keep their iPhones longer tan the average which can act as. Bit of an anchor as markets mature.
Keep it longer? Pfft. I get a new iPhone every year. The old one gets handed down through the family.
3,8 or 4,1? Why two numbers? I don’t get it.
