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)

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.

it's called an analyst report which means it's a guess not a fact.

"iPhone is the leading smartphone in the US on every carrier that has one."

Do you have any proof ?

15. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)

Yes the first quarter financial reports for Sprint, Verizon and AT&T

16. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)

You have said:

"...on every carrier that has one."

And what about T-Mobile ?

21. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)

Obviously T-Mobile doesn't sell an iPhone.

29. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)

Truth, but still not sure about Verizon.

32. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)

It's a fact. 51% of ALL smartphone sales on VZW in Q1 were iPhones.

108. roscuthiii (Posts: 2241; Member since: 18 Jul 2010)

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.)

wow did you just read what you wrote.. T-Mo doesnt offer the iphone so of course it will not be in the stats....

6. maxkobi (Posts: 30; Member since: 17 Jun 2011)

Source or it didnt happen...

11. Aeires (unregistered)

Agreed.

taco doesn't believe in providing sources to back up his assertions.

7. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)

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

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.

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.

27. Aeires (unregistered)

I take it you didn't read the Barron's article.

33. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)

I don't need to. It's an analyst report. There's also a report that says iPhone is #1.

36. Aeires (unregistered)

Link it then. Otherwise shut up.

51. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)

Use Google that's your friend right?

104. Aeires (unregistered)

As suspected, you have nothing. Nothing but denial and delusion.

Taco your amazing.

I've never seen so much stupid rolled up into one person.

68. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)

I'm stupid by making factual statements instead of useless analyst reports?

I know and all you fandroids also know the iPhone was the top selling phone on VZW, AT&T and Sprint for Q1.

No one knows this quarter until official numbers are announced.

90. parkwaydr (Posts: 572; Member since: 07 Sep 2011)

Your stupid because you spout random nonsense and never give any evidence to back up your claims.

Your nothing short of a religious fanatic, only your idol is apple.

You whine like a pms enraged 13 year old girl.

NEWS FLASH: YOUR BELOVED APPLE WAS BUILT OFF OF STOLEN IDEAS.

SO WIPE THE LITTLE TIM COOKS OFF YOUR CHIN AND EDUCATE YOURSELF.
