I am replacing my iphone 3gs. It has served me well but at 3 years old it will be nice to have an upgrade, especially the better camera and display. I tried an Android once, but I was hanging and I had to take the battery out all the time to reset it.

Define stupidity: everybody chasing the i wether they know how to use it or not…almost all of them dont !

Thats how you define success: raking in more money off iStupids !

Here is how I define success: A company that convinces people to buy a product over and over simply because it is a brand name. As some of us may have seen on Jimmy Kimmel most people don’t even know why they are upgading. They just hear “New iPhone!” on every single news outlet and blog and go rushing in.

Yeah its funny seeing them wracking their brains out looking for all sort of angles to pour cold water on Apple.

Take into account that there’s only 1 iPhone released per year with no other companies making it, and also take into account the number of people worldwide that use smartphones, and that’s not really an impressive number. Just hyped.

Actually isn’t 23hs x 60s = 138*0* per minute? I keep getting that result with the math I’m doing.
I’m not going to discredit these numbers, they’re obviously solid. What I’ll discredit is perhaps the way they’re being advertised. What I want to know is how this compares to the GSIII numbers.

Actually iDavies seems to be the most apple fanboy on slashgear. Whatever apple does, it must be great! But everything other companies does must suck!

Slashgear following header: an iPhone 5 sells every 44 ms
and the following header 15 minutes later: The iphone 5 is sold at 23 Hz,
and so on and on.
that is why some people believe that you are very subjective or apple definitely pays you for this kind of advertising
