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


Hype...

At least many people in my country buy i-phone,to flaunt it,since it's an extremely famous product,and many celebrities own it,so some people feel special if they have it''looooooook I have an i-phone,you poor guy with no i-phone''...

I laugh at them,because hardware-wise my fairly cheaper phone is way better than i-phone,since it has higher specs(higher specs doesn't mean always better phone,and you can have a phone with lower specs which can be more efficacious,my windows phones taught me,unless the discrepancy is big)i-phone can boast for it's great os and apps but the oxymoron is that many owners of it,come and vaunt about it's camera,which pales in comparison even with quite older phones...


Wow, a person with an Iwata avatar says iPhones are selling on hype? You are disrespecting everything Iwata did in his time as Nintendo president with that comment. I've said that roughly a dozen times on this forum but here we go again: Apple is successful because they use Clayton Christensens research about disruptive products as the base for their product design. Steve Jobs called The Innovator's Dilemma "the most influential book I've read in my life". It's exactly the same strategy Iwata used when they designed the Wii. 

And the rest you wrote is definitely nonsense (sorry to be so direct). The iPhone's speed and camera is always up there with flagship Android phones. Generelly, top of the line smartphones perform almost identical each year. Whether you buy a Galaxy S6 or an iPhone 6s, both are amazing phones and neither of them is popular because of hype.
