iPhone 3GS spurs 400% increase in mobile video uploads to YouTube

***AppleInsider*** · 06-25-2009, 02:53 PM

If there was any doubt that that the video recording and upload capabilities of Apple's new iPhone 3GS would signal a new chapter in mobile video sharing, the first statistics quantifying its impact are in, and they're impressive.

Google said Thursday that in the first five days since the new Apple handset hit the market, its YouTube video sharing website saw a 400% increase in the number of video uploads coming from mobile handsets. This compares to 1700% percent growth in YouTube uploads in general over the past six months.

The iPhone 3GS is the first iPhone to support video capture and allows users to easily trim and then upload their recordings to YouTube or Apple's MobileMe video sharing websites. Uploads are supported over both WiFi and 3G wireless connections.

Although the fourfold increase in mobile uploads to YouTube may stem early adopters familiarizing themselves with their new handsets, the iPhone 3GS remains in its infancy, having sold roughly a million units in its first week.

Analysts like Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster forecast the company to sell over 16 million more iPhones during the duration of the current calendar year, the largest majority of which are expected to be 3GS models.

Additionally, persistent rumors have Apple equipping its next-generation iPods with similar camera capabilities, suggesting the growth witnessed by YouTube in mobile video usage over the past several days is only the tip of the iceberg.

Of course you all have been busy overloading youtube with video- you've been denied for 2 years.

The iPhone juggernaut continues to roll. The nayasyers will, one day soon, repent, and relent.

SpamSandwich · 06-25-2009, 03:11 PM

I still wonder how the heck YouTube will ever make money. I also wonder how they are able to store all of this content. If it were up to me, I'd start charging for uploads exceeding a certain monthly limit. God bless 'em though.

Rot'nApple · 06-25-2009, 03:13 PM

400% to youtube...

and an increase in "Paris Hilton" or "Pamela Anderson" night time activity videos?!

No wonder I couldn't get service this weekend with my new 3GS... everyone uploading videos of things no one cares about or will ever watch.

Actually it's more like this:

Even though some mobile phones have had video capabilities for awhile now, it took Apple to finally make it easy enough for people to do it!

c4rlob · 06-25-2009, 03:55 PM

The new iPhone 3GS is so much more nimble than the original iPhone, you really have to think of its sales in multiple dimensions...
Apple didn't just sell 1 Million phones. In one weekend they sold:

1 Million video cameras - WITH video editing (that part is the magic!)
1 Million GPS navigators.
1 Million game consoles.
1 Million voice-recorders (or a 4-track studio with the app).
and don't forget 1 Million iPods.

or 1 Million whatever else full-feature tools the App Store offers.

The largest majority???

As opposed, perhaps, to all those other, smaller majorities?

May we recommend the esoteric term "vast" for such situations? (As in "vast majority", "preponderance", or even the more ponderous "majority by far".) I know it's comprised of but four letters, but its use surely would lend a greater verisimilitude of erudition!

16 million sold.

That is $5 billion in sales.
Maybe now they could add a keyboard...

Actually, it is more like ~$9B in sales (assuming an average price of $550 per handset deal with ATT). At a net income margin of 15% and P/E ratio of 15 that is $20B in equity market cap (or approximately $22 per share).

Of course, that does not mean the stock price rises by that much, since a lot of it is 'replacement' value from an existing product; only a portion of it is from the incremental profit growth.

What you said doesn't acknowledge that the Quicktime X framework, the heart of what makes this possible, wasn't ready two years ago.

When will people quit thinking of the iPhone as just another consumer electronics product? It is a world beating, market changing, paradigm shifting, product redefining juggernaut. This is a perfect example of why AT&T did not allow Sling to work on their network. It is not that it can't be done on other phones; it is that on the iPhone, people would actually use it. Love it or hate it, the iPhone revolutionized the smartphone industry. Two years ago at Macworld, SJ said that the iPhone was at least five years ahead of anything else on the market. I am starting to believe it.

Haha, can you imagine how badly that would show up the forthcoming Zune HD (barring Microsoft makes any last minute additions)?

And if a built-in camera supported video recording, there's a very good chance it would include...a built-in mic!

Will that QuicktimeX framwork also make it easier for me to RIP my DVD's and movies easier than it is currently done.? Some will play in iTunes but not Apple TV and then not iPod and so on. It's like how many formats of the video do I need?

TenoBell · 06-25-2009, 05:52 PM

No Quicktime does not recognize, interact with, or play DVD's at all.

Time to catch up with Teckstud. Start to make all sorts of comments on how much you hate your own expensive, crappy, overhyped etc. etc. Apple-sucks-b***s MacBook Pro.

It's a pity Steve banned pr0n apps from the iPhone. Apple's probably losing millions a year in app, iPhone and Mac (for developers, etc.) sales.

And now with the video recording direct upload feature... <sigh> missed revenues, old Steve-o, you prude.
