This year is the S cycle, so hype between normal consumers is a little bit lower since they can't understand much that a phone to be upgraded it doesnt need a new design. S cycle sells better for apple diehard fans and for more tech savvy people, that are more Wowed by a much faster processor and more ram than by new aesthetics. Next year it will bring the wow factor back to design and the casual consumer will get back.

I guess many of them are just contract renewals. What I would like to know is how many changed from Android and why because it involves changing to a risky different ecosystem.
Personally I will stick with Android as there is nothing which ios does any better but it involves much higher costs.

Wow, didn't know there were so many girls crazed to buy these phones. 😆

Not surprising, selling as good as ever

I'm pretty sure that line you quoted there was in relation to the rest of his response where he was talking about his area and his college. Oh well.

I missed the point then, apologies.

Anyway, Apple's quarterly reports just got interesting for me. I am really excited to see where Apple is heading after they played their most, and probably last, effective card; bigger screens.

Some people actually so Research

And that includes everyone in this thread? Everyone is cautiously impressed. With the next 3 or 4 quarterly reports, we will be able to get a better picture.

Im glad Apple is doing well and samsung is losing over time. I hate Android with a passion. So many problems and so little time to deal with them.

Even with one dollar profit they make more money then all other phone manufactors besides Samsung.. Apple and Samsung kinda ruined the market.. Lets hope one or two chinese brands will be able to battle with them in the future
