I admit iphone are nice products but since somebody stole my iphone last month, I got a Samsung S3 instead of waiting for the iphone5.
and its like somebody opened my eyes to the real world. bigger, better screen, faster, more control, free to load movies and music etc etc.
I know now that all apple cared about was taking my money any chance they got. I'm glad i finally made the switch. although the LG optimus G looks very nice.

what the iphone 5 should've been.
4.5 inch 720p screen
1.5 quad core
micro sd card slot
removable battery
12 mp camera with optical stability.
but at apples pace I should get this in iphone 7. so I just got the samsung galaxy S3 instead.
but the new LG optimus G looks very interesting

Every time a new iphone comes out, it's always in short supply.... starting to think this is just part of Apple's marketing plan to make the iphone seem more exclusive. I have to admit though, since all the tech websites report about these shortages, it does generate a lot of free advertising.

AnonD-36622, 19 Sep 2012Man, do you really think this one sold "his S3"? ... moreAlready the LG Optimus G blows the SIII into the woods with its benchmarks, however I am more interest in the Nokia 920 and what WP8 can really do. As for Apple, you buy it, you use it with little or no problems. I think MS has learned from Apple the value of really integration and this is what I am looking for in a WP8 device. Android is nice but does not do the job for me as a netbook replacement whereas WP8 is rumoured to do just that. If so, then Apple also has a problem.

Anonymous, 19 Sep 2012So they should have expected to sell more than the 4S?
Th... moreWell apparently it's pretty easy to figure out:
"Phil Schiller, the vice president of marketing for Apple, said that each new generation of iPhone sells as much as all the previous models combined. This astonishing fact came out amid the Apple vs. Samsung trial. That is the method that Apple uses to forecast sales."
Or look at it like this - most people buy phones on 2 year contracts. So after 2 years all can & many will update.
As Apple keeps it's sales figures secret, lets say:
i3G = 15M/ i3GS = 25M/ i4 = 40M/ i4S = 80M/ i5 = ?
So when i4 came out there were 15M+ old iPhone 2 & 3G owners ready to update. i4S had 25M+. i5 will have 40M++ ex i4S fans waiting...plus the rest that haven't upgraded yet, those who will upgrade early and new markets where it will be released.
Chop it up however you like, Apple KNEW there would be a huge demand. It can only mean they are INTENTIONALLY making their loyal customer wait longer in order to drive the sales hype higher
About your other point - sure, haters will hate. There are some in every camp. What gets anti-iFans so riled up is the number of blindly loyal Apple fans who cannot realise that Apple is not being totally truthful and will do anything to make people nothing esle comes close, despite facts proving otherwise.
Having said this, ALL companies are guilty of the same. It's just that Apple seem even better at gulling people.

He´s however making marketing for Apple, as if he gained anything for that...well, on these days maybe is getting something from greedy Apple. I'm not a Samsung fan, but you Apple fans can't handle the truth that right now S3 is a better smartphone than your "new" iPhone ahahaha

Don't know why GSA deleted my earlier post. I was just commenting on the fact that people are already camped out outside the Apple shop in Regent Street in London with their deck chairs, sleeping bags and flasks waiting for the big day. Just for their sakes, I hope it doesn't rain from now till Friday!!
Sad people!!

Good thing I'm not an Iphone fan. To announce a launch date and then turnaround and delaying the the orders another 3-4wks is crazy. I guess apple to trying to see how much crazy people are willing to wait on one phone when you have several brands with the androids platform. I guess apple is stacking up the numbers.
