This madness needs to stop. What sucks the most is that a large portion of those sales are coming from people with perfectly good iPhone 3/3s/4/4s/5/What ever the fuck elses. Just throwing a way money and depleting resources.

To be fair, at this day and age, 3 and 3S just suck. 4 is also dated.

OP:

Meh, I didn't want the 5C to succeed. If only the HTC One could experience this type of success.

How many do they need to sell to break even?

The hardware is not really that impressive... you can currently buy twice as powerful phones at 2/3 of its price.

The HTC One is great. Did you hear that it's getting an octa-core + 3GB RAM version ?

For what most of these buyers would use the phone for, the 3/3s would work just fine.

I know that lol but I'm asking how many do they need to sell for it to be profitable for them XD.

I can't know that for sure. My point is that it's easy to get huge amount of profits when your device is cheap to make and sells millions in a matter of days.

The HTC One is fantastic. It would be perfect if not for the average camera.

The HTC One Max? Yeah, it was leaked a few days after I got my HTC One.

I am not going to defend Apple products, but who are you to judge what people can or can't buy and what they do with it? It's not like they are monkeys. I prefer Android these days, but the judging and misconception about Apple fans is simply mind boggling.

it's not as if many gamers don't say that it's money wasting to buy every new cod even if the changes are only small... it's pretty much the same.

Impressive, but iOS 7 on 200million and it hasn't even been out a week that's crazy
