      mir, 09 Sep 2016It really doesn't matter who's a fan of who. In the end, th... moreTrue I get it all the time on twitter when ifans boasting about how many millions sold but it has NOTHING to do with them don't they understand it apple making more money. Apple does not even know these people or care they are making money and the person is losing theirs and they praise apple for taking their money.

      Apple also never release returns info, what is to stop a fan ordering 2,3,4 or more iPhones on Friday (and the past) trying them out keeping the one they want and returning rest just to increase initial sales figures. Last year they reckon they sold 13 million but 8 million could have been returned.

      It is saddening that it is parents who suffer having to buy these items for their kids when a Moto G will suffice. They must spend more on silly iPhones than their mortgage.

                    I have an s7 but It's pretty plain to see that Apple is everyone else's daddy.

                    Apple know exactly what they are doing, albeit marginal upgrades, but they STILL sell millions of mobiles. Next year with an all new "redesigned" iPhone 8....it will be a watershed moment for sales records. Guaranteed. Apple is is undoubtedly a genius marketer, whatever your feelings are towards them.

                      They won't be able to sell as many and don't want the iPhone 7 to look bad. Flop.

                            I don't blame apple for not releasing sales numbers anymore, it gets tiring when there's no one else to compete but yourself.

"Meh my Note 5 is better at least it doesn't blow up", "My 6S is better 'cause it's got a headphone jack", "My LG G4 is better 'cause it has bigger battery and screen". Typical .
