I think you are on to something. Financial journalists should look in more detail.

I am in no way saying the results are not correct. But there are all kinds of smart ways to report revenue, like mandating your suppliers to stock your product and reporting those as sales.Same way car vendors report sales, when the cars in reality are still sitting at the dealers showrooms.

From my random data sample of 20 contacts, around 80% have Android phones and the other 20% with iPhones, nobody upgraded in the last two years...



iPhone has a close to 60% market share in the US so your sampling data is already way off base.


I had no idea it was so large. I am also shocked that aparently users change IPhone every two years...I smell a status symbol thing...
