      Anonymous, 08 Nov 2012Incase you didn't bother to read those sales numbers I'll give you a rough summary. There is ... morecan you kindly tell me how many different manufactures produce android phones? nuff said. Apple is fully aware they are not going to outsell it's competition. It's all about revenue. Also they don't have lower end phones, they are well aware of it.

      http://www.forbes.com/sites/benzingainsights/2012/08/21/apple-now-most-valuable-company-in-history/

      you can also suck on this too. Just wait til the iphone 6 comes out. Apple is not going down anytime soon. IOS does not dominate the market share in terms of phones, The same could be said for their computer os, but its all about revenue. Apple is a "revenue" not market share. Look at the iosx market share. It doesn't even touch windows os. Who cares. I'm sure any company would kill to have 200 million of their smart phone sold world wide. Honestly dude..... Lets say Samsung for example...... in terms of overall value.... NOT EVEN Close. Apple is a totally different beast. OH what? all of a sudden their daily interest is 73%? wow

            There is around 3 times as many Android phones been sold than iPhones which is almost 600m Androids against under 200m iPhones.
            Android has 75% market share against Apple's 14.9%.
            Samsung sells the most Smartphones with Apple a very distant second place.
            I just figured I'd sum up these numbers for you because almost everything you say about Android is as wrong as you can possibly be.

                Anonymous, 08 Nov 2012apple is still outselling all of their competitors. None of them are coming close. Any of t... moreHow many companies have Apple destroyed because they so powerful to help achieve that stock price?
                Apple really are 1 of the biggest corporate bullies that ever existed and you really need to stop being so naive because you seem to have this black and white attitude about Apple seeing a high share price and a smooth Operating System and think that makes Apple amazing.
                But there is some of us out there that are actually open minded and care enough about the crappy way Apple does business, and we not just jealous of Apple like the iPhone Fanboys want to believe because they just incapable of understanding the ethics behind what's happening. So until you become capable of understanding why people have a problem with Apple don't waste your time.

                  Anonymous, 07 Nov 2012I genuinely feel sorry for iPhone users now that Apple only has a 14.9% market share that's be... moreactually their market share went up from the previous year. Also, that stat was based on os only. Apple as the brand itself is outselling their competition. They are not directly competing against Android, but more or less against Samsung HTC, LG , Nokia etc etc.

                      And all the Fanboys here seem to care about is that Apple is the richest company and their phone runs a little bit smoother than the competition.

I used to like Apple until I heard of the sickening litigations they have thrown to almost every tech company. I believe that my sentiment is just like of those many people around and must be the reason of Apple's weak sales.

                          Because by your "logic" it's sad that everyone copied off Mercedes or sad that anyone tries to improve on intentions, so try to turn off the Fanboy part of your brain and realise the only reason Humans don't still live in caves is because someone sees an idea and tries to improve it, and almost every part of the iPhone was thought up by someone else first and they either add it to their devices like everyone else does or steal ideas then patent them and take the inventor to court.

                                      iSJ5, 07 Nov 2012because they cant afford the first generation iphone!If the only reason people don't buy iPhones like you keep saying is that they can't afford it then why do people buy phones like the Galaxy S, Note, HTC One X and all the other top end Androids? Because they cost about the same as iPhone on release.

                                        Brilliant phone but i dropped it from about half a foot and the screen smashed, make stronger screens or replace them for free! a smashed screen shouldn't stop the warrenty
                                        as i also have a problem with my sensors and they wont sort it because of a cracked screen

                                        but in general a brilliant all round fun and fun to use!
