Nah, at my high school they were all the rage up until a few years ago. They're in the biggest decline I've ever seen. Plus when I hang out at the mall or go to a store I don't see people carrying iPhones or iPads, you see Samsung and other branded tablets. I wouldn't blame them, iPhones are garbage. I'd change mine out for something better but I don't want to lose my purchases

Oh. lol. Well, for your information the iPhone is by far the most popular smartphone almost everywhere. iPads sales are declining, sure, like every other tablet, but they are still the most popular tablets everywhere too.

Excuse me if I take your highly inaccurate observation with a grain of salt and stick to the facts and numbers.

As for "iPhones are garbage", that's your personal opinion and funny enough, it's probably the only part in your post that worth paying attention to because the rest is false


Actually the rest is  true, it's just that it's anecdotal. That doesn't make it false though. And in some way he's right, Apple are losing marketshare, it's just that the smartphone market is growing enough to keepi Iphone numbers on a slight upwards trajectory.



Can't wait for the day apple becomes a thing of the past. HTC and Samsung are miles ahead.

I remember when everyone was crazy about Apple and iPhones. Seeing less and less of them now and less and less talked about as well


I would have agreed with you a couple years ago, but right now it almost seems like iPhone's are making a resurgence...



Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.

[Prediction Made 6/18/2014]

His own words: "They are in the biggest decline I've ever seen". That's definitely not true.

Losing marketshare in an expanding market with so many players in the business, and more are coming, is expected to happen.

And to be more specific, Apple owns the premium smartphone market and 90% of the total profits of the whole market, Apple couldn't care less about the "marketshare" they are losing, because that market doesn't bring any money. And yes, In my opinion, the premium smartphone bubble will burst one day but that day hasn't come yet. No decline yet.

You don't have to believe me, dude XD I don't care. If you're offended don't even respond because it seems I've struck a nerve, "only part in your post that worth paying attention too because the rest is false

I'm not going to get in a debate over my own observations either, "Excuse me if I take your highly inaccurate observation..." because that's ridiculous, that along with the fact I don't give a shit about iPhones or smartphones in general. Which is the most popular of all time? No clue. Which app is doing te best? I couldn't tell you. I made a passing comment about the iPhone and you got defensive for no reason. If you don't like how I feel about it, fine -great. But don't keep responding to me because it's blantantly obvious neither you or I will change our opinions on the subject which will not lead to any productive dicussion and lead it off topic.

Not sure Spurge-Senpai, but I would imagine it will not be before long. Apple does have what it takes to sell their iPhones.

I don't have an opinion on the subject, you do, and it is wrong, and I corrected you and presented facts, thank me for them and move on. "I didn't know, interesting.", is that hard?

And complaining about people quoting you in forums like VGC and presenting numbers? Seriously? Well, someone's defensive indeed



I dont understand why it sells so much.
Unless people are simply upgrading from the previous model and those numbers are included.

It's quite baffling how many resources we waste on electronic gadgets when we think about it

It's funny when these complaints are written in a video game forum. ;)
