Victims of marketing? In what sense? If anything, what your post highlights is that with Apple's marketing machine in full swing it created 5m victims in 3 days saddled with a phone that was riddled with faults and had a buggy OS.

 

Oh no, honestly I have never owned one iphone, in fact I have owned 3 iphones, never used iOS..... god you are stupid most of the time Jack but that takes the biscuit

 

 

I have both a foot in both camps

 

Not forgetting that 50% of those were returned 1 day later due to "quality issues"

 

Looks like that is the other way round Jack

Two made up sites. The last one is hilarious, must be a 12 year old.

 

Made up by a samdroid no doubt.

Sales to Carriers vs. Actual activations.

 

Crushing!

 

Which would you buy and which would you sell?

Apple seem to be doing OK for a doomed company

Long term keeper android.

Short sell apple.

 

share prices hasn't recovered hugley, so dont crow too much jack. Not got any new releases lined up that are that impressive either.

 

No new releases lined up, umm, iOS7. That's going to be big, and unlike Android people will actually be able to upgrade.

 

look what arrived this morning.

a proper smart phone

 

I wouldn't take share tips from Jack, he bought Facebook shares at it's peak and look what happened to them, though he would probably say they're long term investment!!

 

iPhone 5 was the 'next big thing' and look what happened to the stock since then! iOS7 will probably be just as bug ridden as iOS6 first was when it was released. If the fanboi's have learnt anything from iOS 6, they'll be a bit more cautious with upgrading to iOS7.

 

Being cautious about upgrading is a whole lot better than not being able to.

 

I bought Facebook shares for a bit of a laugh and honestly $50 it's cost me in a year has been worth the fun.

You might remember me advising everyone to by Apple shares at $80, shame on you if you didn't listen. I haven't paid for an Apple product since then and have bought plenty.

 

You should have bought the HTC, far better. First thing you should do with that is watch the iPlayer, I recommend last weeks Watchdog.

 

Yes but if you also remember, you were advising people buy when they were peaking too, and still advised to buy when they were on their way down. You should have sold when they were at their peak like I said. BTW, I haven't paid for an Apple product either.

If you thought the slump in Facebook shares was fun, you must be having a right laugh with Apple's!!

 

Why is it only jack that seems to think a software upgrade is so mega new and exciting?

 

Umm, no I didn't. If I did it would not have been serious, I even mentioned on here when I sold.

Apple have been great for me, owe me nothing and pay me yearly.

 

I know you're serious but am struggling with this one. Without software I'd find most computers a bit boring.

 

It wasn't bought, it was free and I couldn't find watchdog so I used iphone maps ap but that couldn't find anything
the one I have is 32gb too

 

well its not gonna do anything different, you can still make calls, send texts, um, um

o yeah its a phone lol

 

32gb minus how much? LOL. Best you get it hacked. If you're using Apple Maps to try to find Watchdog and it finds nothing, that's wrong? The fact you think it was free is telling.

 

Nexus owners can upgrade.

 

Yes, both of them can.

 

If updates are important to you, you buy a Nexus.

If they're not, you don't,

Its all about choice.
