Except that's wrong. The number 1 selling phone on Verizon is the Motorola Razr Maxx, not the iPhone.

You have no proof of that of course

10. Aeires (unregistered) posted on 30 Jun 2012, 16:18 13 3

Except I do. Barron's posted a story about it on the 11th of June, Google it. People want all day battery life and 4G, which the Razr has over the iPhone.

Q1 sales? Well, we just finished up Q2 so while the past is a great reference point, it is also not indicative of the present. It is indeed possible, and probable, that the Droid Razr series has surpassed the iPhone on Verizon as mentioned by PhoneArenaUser citing the Barron's report.
2 reasons:
#1 - Verizon has been pushing their marketing and sales focus to their 4G LTE network, which the iPhone at this time is lacking.
#2 - Slowed sales as people await the release of the iPhone 5. At least of the 4S. I'm sure the oler models' sales are benefiting from the budget-friendly price cuts, which I think may be getting confusingly lumped in with the current model 4S sales figures.

(There's also the #3 possibility. Other manufacturers can make a compelling product too.)

It is only speculations, we still don't know much about iPhone 5 and that's mean thous 47% may still change their mind. ;)

17. -box- posted on 30 Jun 2012, 16:31 4 1

PhoneArena itself reported the preference for the RAZR MAXX, and the iphone is not the most sold phone on Virgin, CellularOne, Cricket, nTelos, from recent reports. Not only that, it already has one of the highest return rates as customers switch them for phones with larger screens and LTE capability. Finally, mist reports about the iPhone as mist popular take all models as one, rather than stipulating between each generation. No other brand does that, otherwise the Droid line on Verizon and the entire Galaxy series by Samsung would likely outnumber iPhones in recent sales.

22. taco50 (banned) posted on 30 Jun 2012, 17:07 6 15

Everything you just said is wrong. PA had an ANALYST report posted GUESSING that the Rzr Maxx was #1. They also had an analyst who thinks iPhone is #1. The last OFFICIAL numbers show iPhone is first on Sprint, Verizon and AT&T.

Cricket, Virgin etc JUST GOT an iPhone. There's no numbers for iPhone sales there yet.

iPhone having a high return rate is something YOU MADE UP. There's no data to back that up because iPhones have a very low return rate.

iPhone outsold all other smartphones combined in Q1 on the big 3.

Fandroids you're lack of caring about facts is astonishing.

lol @ taco. You are such a raw raw iLover.. Did iPhone father your first born? Did iPad save you from a burning building? You really are such a homer it really is hard to stomach

...and before you say it, I have no such affinity to any product, not android or any other. ATM I have and enjoy android but I go where the technology leads me and one thing is for sure, i love all technologies from all companies and you guessed it, not any of the apple products ever make the list! why not you ask my brave little taco? iDon't like over priced, under tech'd, closed minded and generally just mediocre technologies. If the sheep fits...

I just sold the sgs3 while it was worth a pretty penny because I already have a tablet at home. The iPhone just does everything its supposed perfectly and easily.

Completely agree with you. there are so many hardcore android users posting all over apple threads its unbelievably annoying, and then they have the nerve to call out iPhone users.

And I also have the Galaxy SIII as well. Its a great phone and all, but I'm starting to feel like its slightly over-hyped. The design is okay, if the phone gets oily it starts slipping out of your hands and feeling nasty, and the screen is not that great. I feel as if the iPhone is too small but this phone is too big....so now I'm stuck and don't know what to do. I don't want to go back to iPhone but I don't feel like I'm fully satisfied with with Android either. So my last attempt at Android is the Galaxy nexus. At least if I don't like the phone, I'll be contract free.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT!?! My 4th gen iPod touch developed a Bluetooth problem, so I went to the apple store and they gave me a "refurbished" one and it had dead pixels WTF!?! I havent had dead pixels in YEARS, and none of the 7+ devices I own have dead pixels, not even my most abused ones. The apple store gave me another refurbished one and said if it had dead pixels that they could not help me. WTF!?! My iPod Touch was PERFECT, not a scratch on it, they couldn't believe that I had been using it for a year, audio over bluetooth was distorting however and it had to go. This refurbished iPod is for sale now, I'm getting a Walkman Z, my Walkman X has never let me down....

Lets see, blackberry users use phones with tiny screens, no 4g, and a stagnating OS, Apple sounds like a perfect fit for them!

"No surprise here as Apple has a great combination of software, hardware and customer support. "

Right; Just so you know, if you actually look at it, the iPhone is nothing more than a feature phone with an app store.
If you took a Samsung Behold back from 2008 and gave it an app store with 500,000+ apps, it would be just the same as an iPhone.
But why stop there, lets also take the LG Prada, or the Giorgio Armani or the LG Dare, I can go on and on.
Taco; I dare you to get an iPhone and get an old feature phone, put them side by side and compare them (Without talking about the app store).
I can tell you what is happening in real life, but you would probably deny it and say that I am biased against the iPhone or I have no idea what im talking about.
