Apple will sell over 50,000,000 iPhones this quarter...maybe 60,000,000 if they can make that much. Demand is off the chart...according to the top analysts. Article is kind of naive...regarding Samsung overtaking Apple. What for a week? A few days. Apple still makes more money than Sansung for iPhones sales so there you go.....

Get used to it PC World is becoming anti-iPhone. They posted a rating for the new iPod Touch but didn't for the iPhone 5. You have to go MacWorld for that rating.

If you think about it 30 million Galaxy SIII phones sold in 5 months isn't that much of an accomplishment when you consider how many overall Android phones are sold during that 5 months. The only reason it's seen as an accomplishment is because 90% of people who own an Android phone bought either a free or cheap phone. In comparison if Apple only sells 30 million iPhone 5's in 5 months, it would be seen as a failure to both Apple and Apple fan boys. The point being is when someone is willing to shell out at least $200 for a smartphone, 9 times out of 10 they're buying an iPhone.

I mean Android phones aren't bad to use as just a phone or if you wanna just buy a cheap phone. But come on who in their right mind would pay $200 for a virus ridden phone who's security updates are iffy and there are no guaranteed updates when you can pay $200 for an iPhone 5 and get guaranteed updates, literally no viruses and is the most secure OS? I mean even looking at the apps and games themselves the iPhone 5 wins that war.

Lol I bet the iPhone 5 sells better than the SGSIII. And the SGS4 sells better than the iPhone 5 and so on and so on. This article doesn't make to much sense the iPhone 4S came out last sept why not compare the SGSIII to the newest iPhone?

The BIGGER Picture is...
And putting tablets aside, speaking only about smart phones right now...

The Apple iPhone is an ever smaller and shrinking portion of the Worldwide smart phone market, only 17% and shrinking. However they will likely always have strong support and growth from much of their loyal following for the foreseeable future, and that's a good thing.

However adoption is FAR higher for Android, triple+ the rate of iOS.
There is a strong trend of people switching from iOS to Android.
Android phones from dozens of makers [not just Samsung] with dozens of models and specs [not just the galaxy S3] run very wide price ranges. So there is always something for just about everyone’s budget.

Above are facts, below are opinions:

Say what you like about the Android OS, but I use all OSs and Android is clearly superior to iOS.
Security attack issues happen to the biggest targets. Always have and always will, and that evolves too. Why waste time going after a little fish when you can go after a big fish.

Summary, the iPhone is an excellent product, just not the best, and iPhones have become your grandmother’s cute little phone.

It makes no sense to have an article against the 4S when the competition for such was the SII not the SIII which is supposed to compete with the Iphone5. I couldn't care less which is better because its obvious that's on the eye of the beholder, but the article itself makes no sense at all.

Why don't you publish as well an article regarding how finally the XBOX 360 outsold the Sega Genesis from 20 years ago????

This new didn't surprise me, apple is one year behind in technology and features in smartphones. The Samsung Galaxy S3 is far superior than the iphone4s and the iphone5.

I am completely 100% over Apple usurping all of my programs. No iPhone 5 for me! I'm looking forward to moving on to something that is not so egotistical to take over the best navigation tool I have ever used and BLOCK me from using it on MY iPhone! Talk about Big Brother watching over. Shwesh.

Then there's the whole nightmare of getting forced into a transition out of Mobile Me into iCloud. iCloud corrupted the Outlook data on my PC, and when I uninstalled it, my 4,000+ outlook contacts are corrupted, groups, teams, categories.

iPhone 5 ARE YOU KIDDING ME? i- anything.. not for this chick.

You do realize this is only one model of an android phone. IPhone had a short period where it was more useful than others, but that time is over. They will always have there following of people that think they are some sort of status symbol as has always been the case for apple products.

Yes, I have always thought people that used apple products were far superior than everyone else. (sarcasm)

When will people realize this simple fact - Galaxy 3 sold for 90 day during that 3rd quarter and iPhone 5 only 18 days. During those 18 days the iPhone sold nearly 1 million a day while the G-3 super sales king had about 200k units per day in sales - Face it all of you Sammy brown-nosers iPhone, when available, outsold your crap 5 to 1.

Yes, I have been forced out of MobileMe and into iCloud - and I have yet been able to figure out what happened. All I know is - my MobileMe 100 per year fee, which I have paid since 2005, stopped about 2 years ago. Since then, I have enjoyed 4 times the storage AND added 2 iPads and iPhone - each of which had the nerve to ask me 2 questions - and then all of my devices are in sync - email, texts, iTunes, music, calendar, bookmarks - geez, I can't imagine it being any simpler.

I recall one analyst bullish on Apple - 'Apple will continue to make HUGE inroads into the enterprise market, because people just don't realize how well their devices work together. When they do, it's lights out for the competition.'
