Ming Kuo is a piece of shit.

So iPhone7 will sell 10 million more units then he expected because Note7 problems? Giving a fuking break you piece of shit ANALyst. The Note7 only sold 1.5 million units at launch. And you SERIOUSLY think 10 million Note7 customers will buy iPhone7 instead?

Giving a fuking break you piece of shit Kuo. You can't even admit YOU WERE WRONG and the demand for the iPhone7 is much greater than you expected. So instead of admiting you were fuking wrong, you make an excuse that iPhone7 is selling well because of Note7 failure.

Next you say you should sell the stock now. YOU PIECE OF SHIT MANIPULATING CRAP head. Beat you are shorting the stock and trying to manipulate the market you pathetic DUNG Face ASIAN (I'm asian by the way)

And now Ming KUO the PIECE OF SHIT is using troll reasoning - the demand for the 7 ins't strong, rather its because of artificially low supply.

I'm sick of these PIE OF SHIT analysist who SPEW total and utter bull shit.

Nah. I think your critical reading skills were a little off here.

The exact quote is "the research firm has escalated its sales estimates from 65 million to between 70 million and 75 million, mostly because of the recall of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and the dual-camera feature in the iPhone 7 Plus. "

Key points:

Escalated sales estimates..... mostly because of.....recall.....and the dual camera.

You arbitrarily try to say that the 1.5 million Note 7s sold and recalled don't add up to the additional estimated 10 million sales for iPhone; and therefore it's bullshit. Well, yes and no. Here's why.

In one sense, obviously not all 1.5 million ppl who bought Note 7s are instead buying the iPhone 7 because of the recall (Samsung actually said 90% of customers who comply with the recall stick with the free replacement Note 7.) Still, that other 10% doesn't account for the extra 10 million iPhone sales. Duh. So this leads to the next point.

In another sense, the Note 7 had been released for like what, 2 weeks, before the issues were reported and later the recall was announced? How many more people would've bought the Note 7 if they weren't exploding and being recalled? Once the reports went mainstream, then the international news about the explosions, then national and international recalls, warnings from the FCC, airlines, US government, foreign governments...... you could argue that this deterred potential future buyers of the Note 7.

A third point is the aforementioned dual camera. Other phones have dual cameras, sure. But iPhone is by far more popular and revered by the general public as a "gold standard"; whether or not you agree the historic sales say they are the most popular. HTC One M8, LG G5, Huawei P9 have dual cameras but do not sell like the iPhone and the vast majority of people outside the tech world don't know they exist. "Everyone" knows the iPhone brand. So that brings in more iPhone buyers interested because of the "new" dual lens camera.

So to recap:

1) People switching away from their Note 7 due to the recall

2) Potential future Note 7 buyers deterred from buying it because of the recall

3) Dual lens camera attracting people away from Note 7 that doesn't have it

4) "Mostly because of". The report says mostly. Keyword mostly. What is mostly, it's 51% or more. Could be 95% or could be 51% of the reason for increased estimates. They didn't specify. So there are obviously more factors that weren't mentioned that are attributable to the increase in estimates.

You can't just say "So instead of admiting you were fuking wrong, you make an excuse that iPhone7 is selling well because of Note7 failure."

Well yes. But also not in the way you expressed it; that's not quite what he or the report said. That's not well thought out nor does it include the nuances in what was actually written. I think you're mad and seeing red; I've done that too sometimes. It's hard to admit, I know. It sucks.
