Anonymous, 18 Sep 2012..2 Million...hahah. Just propaganda. They are simply lying... moreI'm not an iFan. However this figure is very likely true when you consider how megla-devoted iFans are. However this popularity is not the same all around the world.

And it's just as well that the newest iPhone is the best iPhone ever. Because of course everyone else produces their new models to be worse than the old....

O.o

          I Am Using Both One Galaxy S3 And And iPhone4s but m still enjoying my iPhone More then the s3 coz the smoothness and the OS response which iOS gives android can't just even think to provide..!!
          And those who say that there's no innovation in the iPhone5 go to apple's website and see its video then you'll come to know that..!!

              Only that better than not buying an iPhone because you don't afford it is affording to buy an iPhone and not buying it. lol :)))))))))))))))))))

                haha bro, you're so right! im neither an apple fan, nor an android fan.. i will soon be a windows fan. But i have Mad respect for apple.. but i have no respect for android...
                why?
                1) cause android fans a typically arrogant (for no reason.. if they had a decent OS, that would be one thing.. but i have a galaxy nexus, and i know how truely inefficient and buggy android really is)..
                2) apple stands behind thier products 100%... service is unmatched... ive never owned an apple product, but the way the serve you in stores and over the phone is unbelievable.
                3) apple is the reason why touch screen devices are where they are (nokia's symbian is the reason why smart phones began).
                4) apple creates thier phones from hardware through software.. same with nokia... samsung, LG, Sony, Moto are all hardware manufacturers.. and that is far easier/deserves less respect than doing everything..

                ... o yea, apple fans are willing to acknowledge other good oem's and products where as android fans hate on everything... i.e. WP8 is outstandingly fast and innovative... droid fanboys dont acknowledge that, but apple fans do.

                ... Hail Apple. Hail Nokia. Hail Windows...

                    They control every retail chain and track down every phone sold.Notifications are pushed through apple servers because of spam concern and also check At&t , Verizon stores for pre order numbers , it would be very high than before.


                    Why ? because iPhone is getting available on more carriers , when 3GS launched its ONLY available to at&t in US , but now its available on various carriers , don't forget the price drop of 4 and 4S too.

                    Most apple haters (as far as i have seen) all are android fanboys trying to convince themselves that they brought a cheap phone with good specs but really don't see reliability and quality.

                        As usual, typical samsung fanboys.

                        this group predicted iPHone 5 will sell lesser than iPhone 4S

                        when iPhone 5 sales more than iPhone 4S, they changed their talk and started bashing iPhone 5 buyers and giving reasons why iphone 5 sells better than S3. LOL

                          AnonD-5661, 18 Sep 2012why 75% of the world population bash apple products? the... moreThe reason I personally choose android, has always been the same, it just does more. The Sony V will have a 13mp sensor (Apple still uses Sonys older 8MP sensor, even though mp don't always make the camera, it wouldn't make sense that a newer sensor made by the Sony would be worse than their older one), it's waterproof!, nfc, and is Walkman certified which has always been rated better for sound than anything Apple has. The only thing the iphone has going for it, is the apps/games still have a slight edge over android. I'll say it again, android phones can do things iphone can't, but there's nothing iphone can do that isn't available on android!

                            to all samshit trolls who are comparing 2 millions preorders of iphone5 with s3 6 millions'

                            the preorder of s3 started long time ago before the actual release, the comparison is not fair here

                              Apple products are innovations, not every1 gets the insight or rather the bright side of it...coz some people compare with a pre defined state of mind that, Android is the best!

                                why 75% of the world population bash apple products?

                                the most important reason IMO is because they just can't afford them and their alternative to make them look cool is becoming an android fan boys

                                of course, I am not saying all android fans are only those but, the vast majority of them are.

                                I also don't like those who think that everything should be open source (freebies/free lunch lovers), they don't know that we are living in a capitalist world

                                    I dont understand why there is a need to debate which OS/phone is superior.

                                    WE buy what we think will fit our lifestyle and satisfy our needs for everyday use.

                                    Some want iphone..fine.
                                    Others want android..fine.
                                    And the other considers WP or BB.. fine.

                                    More than 2 million iphone5 units pre ordered. good for apple. Congratulations then.

                                    6 million unit pre ordered for SGS3. nice one samsung! congratulations.

                                    why need a debate folks? peace!

You are typical of someone who does not know the world outside the Apple ecosystem.

Let's go back to the first ipod, what ipod had that other mp3 didn't was its large capacity that could content all your songs in there. People buy a product just because it's user-friendly, easy to use, and nice design (yeah, iphone doesn't look that bad).
