This analysis seems to have been done factoring in only the iPhone. The trend in tablets appears to be decreasing ASPs, and Apple seems particularly vulnerable because they're selling more and more iPad minis versus some of the most expensive table…

These stats are better than I thought. Fully expected the 5S to be on top, but a bit surprised to see the 5C in 2nd/3rd place. Anyone done any research into attempting to turn these into numbers, or at least a possible range? U.S. market is supp…

Seems the popular press doesn't want to pick up on this story. CNN Tech's two main tech. headlines right now are: "Atari Founder: Tim Cook isn't the next Steve Jobs" and "5 problems with iOS 7, and how to fix them". Nice huh? I wonder if …

This article doesn't make a lot of sense. To use India as an example, Indian workers don't have their wages adjusted with the exchange rate of the US$ to Rupee. So Apple is NOT reducing the price to the customers, they are simply taking less prof…

Notice the title of this article carefully. I'm starting to think the 5C has not sold well at all.

Quote: B.S. These are sales to end customers, and if you want to go there, Tim cook told us that channel inventory was at about 2 weeks for the iPhone 5 before the launch of the 5s. Also this is for Q3 which has already ended. 3 months ago.…
