AnonD-551566, 14 Sep 2016wtf? i was refering to any brand, huawei also anounces phone shipped but u have to be insulted... moreiPhone fanatics are a defensive bunch. They have to be since their beloved cosmetic device is always under attack and rightfully so lol
AnonD-282770, 14 Sep 2016i don;t think so, People who wants or using Note 7 which migrate to iphone plus, to simple rea... moreExactly, real Note users would never migrate to a puny iPhone and those that do are just a bunch of basic casuals.
"T-Mobile is also offering a free iPhone deal for anyone who trades in a working iPhone 6 or above. Up to $650 will be paid to you while you finance the phone in the form of monthly statement credits," that doesn't sound like free to me.

Im only noticing Apples smart marketing strategies that give them such big sales numbers...
Its a consumer world, and a company is as successful as their marketing division is.
"iphone6 for iphone7" deal is not tmobiles doing, its apples decision.
Apple buys out those returned iphone6'es from t mobile I believe, else tmobile wouldnt have a decent profit at all from it.
And apple is not on a loss with it either, because they earn most from their ecosystem, not phones.
All win, just the consumers pay most in the end.
Just an observation ;-)
Tann Hauser, 14 Sep 2016So does apple actually measure in also iphone6 deactivations in all this "iphone6 for iphone7"... moreYou complain too much. All of apple's ads do not mention how many phones they ship. Quarterly, they do have to report accurate numbers for their share holders in regards to how many phones are activated onto a new customer, this vs "market share" which apple doesn't have data too. Android fanboys need to shup the hell up.
Tann Hauser, 14 Sep 2016So does apple actually measure in also iphone6 deactivations in all this "iphone6 for iphone7"... moreI'm not even sure what your complaining about right now. As far as things go no manufacturer will announce deactivations since there is nothing to track that since it's simply someone that just stops using the phone. Not to mention Apple hasn't announced a single thing ,this is actually t mobile telling country "we've never sold so many iPhones before. What a whinny baby.
Bole, 14 Sep 2016You sound like the biggest fanboy of all fanboys in the universe... grow up...And you sounded like the biggest hater of all the haters in the universe. You typical android fanboy you.
Tann Hauser, 14 Sep 2016So does apple actually measure in also iphone6 deactivations in all this "iphone6 for iphone7"... moreBesides nobody got there phones yet, except for blogs and few other privileged people till the shipping date. So there Eisenhower nit even 10000 iPhone 7 activation let alone 7 mil
Tann Hauser, 14 Sep 2016So does apple actually measure in also iphone6 deactivations in all this "iphone6 for iphone7"... moreThis is sold phones not activated. The iPhone 6s's are already sold and will continue to be sold and there are probably people buying them because they are cheaper and are not included in this news.

Guess not.
They just announce millions of ihone 7 activations
Its all a marketing mind trick....
Just as Samsungs "cant meet the high demand" bull.
Apple actually doesnt earn as much money on iphone sales itself as much as from customer payment within ts closed ecosystem.

can i say "gosh iphone users"??
Bozzor, 14 Sep 2016A lot of factors are combining to generate these preorder numbers (and also for the other US c... moreCorrect!
And you also forget to count the stereo speakers and better selfie cam,which honestly no one was hopping for.Now when those features are in,the deal is so much sweeter.
Cheers
AnonD-551566, 14 Sep 2016yup, and also companies say they sold "x" amount of phones, but they sold them to the carriers... morethat's what Samsung does, which they only announce, "phones shipped" apple counts phone activations. T-Mobile is just saying, how many customers are ordering the iphone 7 from them. Haters always hate, my gosh, android users.
Tann Hauser, 14 Sep 2016Ahah, I believe you without need to check. A good marketing stunt by apple indeed, as always.... moreyup, and also companies say they sold "x" amount of phones, but they sold them to the carriers mostly so it's not like total of end users it's just those companies selling, in this case though the "free" stunt is not made by apple but T-Mobile but i get ur point, it's all for the end users to brag about missleading numbers (any brand)
WTFDYJS, 14 Sep 2016Search the T-Mobile is giving you a free iPhone 7 if you turn in your old iPhone 6. People don... moreAhah, I believe you without need to check.
A good marketing stunt by apple indeed, as always....
Who in hell wouldnt agree to that?!
But then again, its just makeup, turning iphone6 users into iphone7 users, not actually increasing userbase, so they can brag iphone7 orders are enormeus.
Typical stuff, Samsumg uses that consumer mindgames also.

So again, nothing is free
AnonD-442781, 14 Sep 2016It actually is free. There's pretty much no down sides, except giving your old iPhone. So the ... moreFree is getting something for nothing. That is not the case for this deal.
No matter of t-mobile's financial wizardry is going to change that it is not free.
Search the T-Mobile is giving you a free iPhone 7 if you turn in your old iPhone 6. People don't remember this you haven't seen the commercial. That doesn't mean sales are up that means people are trading in their old phones for new ones for free. Free isn't a sale free is free.
It's really entertaining to read some of these posts. Especially the ones where ppl say Apple had better do different design, marketing, or component strategies or risk losing its stranglehold on the mobile market. Face it, Apple is not going anywhere and they have the market on lock down. The iPhone WILL be a hit, but next year when iPhone 8 is released, it will shatter all previous records set by any manufacturer. Guaranteed
i think being the same design and feel apple will have to soon down prises with 150 $ each too boost Sales. . Or Face a flop 2016
