[deleted post]Well it could be worse. People could buy the Galaxy Gear and then have to return it. LOL. Oh well. Samsung tried to do it without Apple showing them what to do and look what happened.

    The key of big sale of iphone 5s and 5c is the trade in there old model iphone. Maybe about $300 is to add to get new iphone. So is not suprising this sales.

      [deleted post]Because Android is worse then shit.

      Even if they jacked down the price and quality to attract customers. Apple still survived, well might i add.

        [deleted post]I think not so sad because many people need really simple phone to use and want status symbol. But now all I phones made in China and 5c look cheap so now not status just need simple with few options.

            Shootergod, 29 Oct 2013Yah it took 6 motnhs SGS4 alone to get the sales.It could b... moreI think u dont read news often. Did u read that the first weekend sales is 9 million iPhones?
            Sammy has more revenue. Coz the amount of phones (plenty models) they sell and amount of business they have.

              these numbers actually take into account the iphone 4, 4s,5,5s and 5c, so while that 33 million is a decent number in reality it is probably more like 25 million, still a very good figure, but it does show that peoples choices are being spoiled with options from apple and all the android superphones, this years sales are slightly down on last year, which in turn where down on the year before, also being shaped by an over saturated market.

                      How is App;e's worldwide market share? Shrinking.

                      Who are the majority of 5s/5c buyers? Previous iphone owners.

                                  AnonD-149447, 28 Oct 2013Actually...iPad sales appear to have stagnated quite a bit ... moreDuring the conference call, it was stated that iPad sales for the period were actually ahead of Apple's own expectations for Q4. People who think that tablets are similar to smartphones in their use case and adoption rate don't understand Apple's approach to the iPad (in my opinion). Apple considers the iPad a "post-PC" device. People don't replace their PCs every year, or even every two or three years. I think adoption of the iPad will be slow and steady and retention will be similarly slow and steady.

                                        Well! The iPhone only sells much faster than the s4 only in the first 3 months while Samsung already sold 40 million galaxy s4 which means in reality more people prefer android over ios
