      Wow... there are a lot of interesting rumours here. I think Apple must be doing well in UK cos I see more and more of their products everywhere; especially with the students population. I'm also intending to get myself an iPhone and I would like to hear your opinion http://www.kakinan.com/alex

        The iphone is one of the most popular phones in the uk right now and has been since its launch. The 5800 might be popular now but in a month it will be dead!! When the iphone 2009 hits uk it will sell like mad!!

            Apple has the advantage of being US national brand backed by a huge US population, and is there by cramming the iPhone to existing Mac users. Apple failed horribly in Europe and Asia where most people use Windows PC's and other brand phones. In South Korea and Finland almost everyone uses Samsung and Nokia cause it's their national brand, but is backed by a small population. I read that 98% of all iPhones sales are within the US and 80% of those were already Mac users. It's same reason why the Indian Movie Industry(Bollywood) has more profit than Apple, cause it's a national product backed by a huge population. That is Apples advantage of being a national product, the American population. If the iPhone was made by a company from another country the Americans would not buy it, cause it's not a good phone, it's just a national brand, that's all. But kudos to Apple for cramming tge iPhon to Mactards and manking huge profit on this piece of junk.

              Mav, 23 Apr 2009I would like to now how many ware sold in the USA,because I... moreYou are absolutely right. I think the sales of what they were in those other countries would be easier to find. It will be a while before the iPhone is a success in those other countries because the competition is so fierce in those areas. Over here in America, the iPhone is the best phone seen thus far.

                        The split was 46% International sales, 54% US sales.

                        Working in a phone store in Australia most of our iPhone sales are to people who buy them based on their friends experiences, most of them don't even know sites like this exist, including all the negative remarks about stuff a lot of people don't care about.

                        The success of the App store is amazing, iPhone OS 3.0 is around the corner, which will expand their potential further and be like getting a new phone.

                        The next thing that Apple will be doing is hardware add on's, just like the software add on's of the App store were so successful opening the API's with OS 3.0 will lead to a potential massive inv=crease in functionality.

                        They are the most reliable phones we sell with very few issues, almost everyone who buys one is very happy with it.

                        In the store I work in four of the people who work there use iPhones, they swapped from Blackberry Storms, Nokia N96 and a SonyEricsson K850.

                        Apple customer service is excellent the turn around time for the rare repairs is usually less than a week compared to other brands which can take up to six weeks.

                        Apple have worked carefully to build a rock solid foundation going into the future, they are here to stay.

                        P.S. The App store countdown is about to pass 999,000,000 whoever downloads the billionth App gets a 17" Macbook pro, iPod Touch, time capsule and a $10,000 iTunes gift card.

                                the profit shown here is from the overall product sale of apple. it doesn't proves that iphone did any wonder to apple. microsoft may also make billion of ka-ching but that doesn't mean that win-mo is the best mobile OS and that would be a slap on your face.
