New Apple iPhone 4S ads creating a positive buzz for the device

3. remixfa posted on 25 May 2012, 06:54 6 2

hey now, back off zooey. shes not hot but shes got a certain dork sexiness to her. :)

When no one wants your products, use pitch people that everyone likes.

Whats funny is how until the advertisements aired, android was whipping iOS in positive thoughts from customers. Considering how few phone specific android advertisements there are, thats pretty impressive. Also, at the end of the graph, android had a serious uptick, meaning this little bump from iOS probably isnt going to last.

Guess taco's "customer satisfaction" doesnt mean squat if no one wants to try it to begin with.. lol.

You're so right man. Only 35 million bought iPhones last quarter with most being the more expensive 4s. Apple must be getting desperate since their worldwide market share moved up from 18% to 23%. This is a total failure in any self respectable fandroids eyes.

Also you guys are right. No company uses celebrities. This is just some weird desperate ploy Apple came up with.

31. remixfa posted on 25 May 2012, 12:16 4 2

all those numbers aside, Android nearly trippled iOS sales for the same period, and a single android manufacturer, Samsung STOMPED Apple all by themselves. And now you have a single android device doubling iphone launch weekend sales... before its even launched.

So yea, considering the position they were in just a year or so ago, times are getting desperate.

Maybe u didnt notice the part where people's opinions of apple were pretty low before these "feel good" ads came out? how they were lower than android's?

Or can you not read yet? Poor wittle taco..

oh for this? they said they took the "positive feelings - negative feelings = buzz"

9. tedkord posted on 25 May 2012, 07:16 1 0

That's my point. It's a sketchy equation. To make it even remotely accurate, you'd need to know the intensity of the positive or negative.

For instance, I've always disliked Apple's business practices, but I was still willing to buy an iPhone for my daughter. Then they got the One X held up at customs for a BS patent, and now I despise them, and will not buy any apple products under any circumstances. My negative went way up.

"A correct response adds the dollar value of the clue to the contestant's score, and gives them the opportunity to select the next clue from the board. An incorrect response or a failure to respond within a five-second time limit (shown by the red lights on the contestant's lectern) deducts the dollar value of the clue from the contestant's score and gives any remaining opponent(s) the opportunity to ring-in and respond."

You do know that Apple sold 66 million iphones worldwide in the last 6 months. That's 11 million iphones a month. The Galaxy Note has sold less then 20 million in the same time.

12. remixfa posted on 25 May 2012, 07:51 7 6

And Android sold nearly triple that. your comparing all iphones, which is the entire spectrum of devices for an OS, vs one phone. What a bad comparison. OS vs OS is the only comparison.

13. greathero1 posted on 25 May 2012, 08:12 3 4

OS vs OS is not the only comparison. It's just the only one that you would win in your argument. OS vs OS just including smartphones, Android wins true. But the iPhone is the most popular mobile phone device period. Nothing comes close to it. Not the Galaxy line, RAZR line, One line, Xperia line, nothing. Just give them their props on being the best selling device man. I'm pretty sure Taco and the Chicken will in return give Google it's props for having largest OS market share. Well, maybe not lol!

If there were 10 different phones that ran iOS none of them sell 66 million individually. iPhone is the only way to get iOS. Consumers don't have a choice if thats the operating system they want.

Dude, for whatever reason, the iPhone is the most popular device. People go in looking exactly for that phone. It would still outsell every product line running Android. I don't know if it's the name, design, or whatever. The iPhone's appeal is much deeper than your simplification. People are not going into the store saying I want a phone running iOS. They are looking for an iPhone. Just admit the damn phone is the most popular device on the market. It's not hard. You all spend so much time trying to tear down the obvious. There are many metrics which can be used and the only argument is not OS wars. It's one of many different ways to measure overall performance. You like Android, cool so do I. But it's not necessary to try to tear down or dissect every piece of positive news given to Apple. What if Taco and the Chicken started yelling in every post about Android OS loosing money for Google in every thread? The Android fans would be quick to point out that's only 1 metric and would quickly change the subject to market share.

your comparing an OS with 1 choice for top notch devices vs an OS with 10 choices for top notch devices.

OH, btw

Did you hear? The SGS3 has 9 MILLION PRE ORDERS NOT INCLUDING THE US.
The i4s, which set records for apple, only sold 4 million phones world wide, including the US for the whole weekend. The US, coincidentally, is the biggest market for both of them.

So that "best selling smartphone" line you iTards like to use just went out the window.

Think of a new line.

Did you hear, that those preorders are taking into consideration what the carriers such as Vodafone are ordering. Comparing preorders from both the customers and over 100 carriers against the sales of the iPhone is not a fair comparison. Try again bro. Sometimes you kill me. You try to paint yourself as being Mr Fair and Objective when you are not. How about comparing iPhone preorders from 100 carriers against the Galaxy preorders. Now we would want a fair comparison right? GTHOH with this nonsense bro lol!

OS vs OS Apple is well ahead of android. Of course you're a hypocrite and don't want to compare OS to OS but only smartphones. When you include iPads and iPods Apple smashes android in market share.

back pedal on what? when you compare "OS to OS" its EVERYTHING that runs the OS, but your not smart enough to comprehend that. When you see "OS marketshare" graphs, it includes everything that uses that OS.

Its also a sad arguement to begin with that you even want ipods to be put in the conversation anyways, since its not a smartphone or tablet. sure sign of a loser trying to find ways to keep up.

aww.. did da wittle taco troll get himself hims foot in hims mouth again!? aww.

you are so clueless....

1) that measures MOBILE BROWSERS. When you set your phone for desktop, it DOES NOT register as a mobile browser. you would know this if the iphone's internet wasnt so limited.

2) that has NOTHING.. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the conversation on OS MARKETSHARE. Thats a browser pie chart, not a sales pie chart

do you go out of your way to be this stupid or is it all natural?

Wow. Just catching up, and I'm astounded.

See, here's the deal, Taco. Like he said, that's browser traffic numbers, not market share.

And when you have Android on your device, and thus have flash and can get the whole internet on your device, you set your browser User Agent to identify as a desktop, so you get the full internet experience, not the castrated iOS experience. That's how I set my browser.

So there.. thats 1 sale. :)
She also said she could never figure out her iphone either.. so, some people just need to stick to flip phones.

Kinda sad you want to talk about OS vs OS and leave out products that use the OS.

Yes android is winning in SMARTPHONE market share. That's only because of heavy subsidies that discount android phones down to zero. Also iPhone isn't even available on the prepaid market.

When you look at total OS market share iOS crushes android. When you look profit Apple crushes android. When you look at single device sales iPhone crushes any android phone. When you look at customer satisfaction iPhone crushes android. When you look at loyalty iPhone crushes android.

But since you seem to know why people choose Android, I'll tell you why people choose iOS - the sheep factor, to have the status symbol, to have what others have.
