      I bet these numbers are Inflated. If they came out and said 20 Mil (which is still good) their stock will drop like crazy.

        AnonD-55206, 17 Jan 2013These News about Apple but lots of Sammy.... Samsung fanboys are annoyed that their Galaxy phones still cannot totally removed Apple phones from the marketshare. LOL

        People keep saying Apple is doomed but their sales are still strong!

        Even the powerful Note 2 cannot totally eliminate iphone 5 which they claimed are trash. Powerful Note 2 cannot eliminate a trash phone? LOL

            Anonymous, 17 Jan 2013Surprised there is so much difference between computer OS v... moreYes i agree the iphone OS is already good, and isn't in a sense 'broken'. But we can all agree it 'can' use a little more polishing =P instead of just having a desktop full of apps and a wallpaper behind it (which half the time can't be seen), perhaps utilize hardware power to 1. Finally add live wallpapers, maybe also allow users to customize where they would like to place the app icons (not the dodgy jailbreak tricks), 2. Have a unique apple desktop that a user can customize (n show off a wallpaper), and a button to lead to the apps? Who am i to speak though lol.

                The fact that a basic Apple post attracts so many Android fanboys, it means that the iphone is still the premier smartphone. I mean if I saw a basic Android article I couldn't care less to comment on it. But a simple article about Apple shipments attracts so many Android fans.

                Brilliant!

                      My girlfriend had 5 swap outs due to out of box damage and hardware failure of iP5 before eventually getting a full refund. I wonder how many of these "shipped" units were in fact replacements as they had no recon stock to offer customers?

                              apple is on on a downward sprial.

                              and yes, it has negatively affected their stocks.

                              they will become the new blackberry if they dont do something innovative.

Lets wait a quarter to see if demand for iPhone5 is really dropping. Too early to comment now. Its impossible for Apple to reduce production requirements for the past.
