Apple can and will certainly sell more, question is if it can regain is US lead over Samsung's Galaxy S3. :) Personally, if I was an Apple user, idk why anyone would upgrade if they have the 4S. I don't see enough to pay the price. If you have the 4, then you're close to upgrade anyways and you get a decently faster phone, better camera, and Siri.


My friend has a 4s and we were comparing it to my iPhone 5 earlier. There is a HUGE difference. Regarding upgrading, I'm pretty sure a 4s user could upgrade to an iPhone 5 early for a relatively small fee of ~£100

Do you know how many Galaxy s3's have been sold in the states?

Huge difference is way over doing it.

Taller screen, LTE (if you have it in yoru carrier), faster WiFi, and... what else? The general performance should be really noticeable and the software is the same. There is no other differences that I can think of. To me, those couple things are definitely not worh $100 let alone £100.

My 4S friends are sticking with their phones until next revision at this point. My couple 4 friends are upgrading as the camera and performace changes are actually noticeable and you get Siri.

Not sure on Galaxy S3's total, but I know just a month or so ago it was the king of US, surpassing the iPhone in total userbase. Meaning that iPhone5 would not only have to sell to 100% of Apples current base, but also get a lot of Android/S3 users to switch (highly unlikely). Meaning that not only is iOS not even close to Android in marketshare, but as a single phone, iPhone is no longer king. Just ties into the other thread where I was talking about the lack of innovation in iOS6. It seems like Apple is starting to just become a player vs a leader/innovator. I want innovation because I want to see the market continue to exponentially grow!

Your entire 4th paragraph is fud
