That comment with the 4,4s,ect... is stupid... Who will buy a 4s when the 5 is out.... Samsung on the other hand has (sorry mihgt not know all of them) Galaxy Note Galaxy S Focus NEXUS Sooooo yeah.. samsung deff has a few more models to ship out... And lets wait and see when the 5 is launched in all countries... I would imagine it isnt as of yet.

Indeed it sounds stupid to you but people DO BUY previous generation iphones due to lower price tag. For example, go to AT

(nice iclarified doesnt sync well with ipad 3rd :) ). ATT store. They have all of models in different price range. The fact is, it destroys the statement coming from Apple fanboys saying that Apple only sells ONE single model. Also for the series of the phone wise, its harder for Apple to create more than one series of the line due to lack of owning their own manufacture factories. And whether they can make them or not, it was their marketing decision to have a single series of sales in smartphone market and they are falling behind Samsung by half the size. For profit wise? I do not know since Apple does rip off people by charging customers way to much compare to how much they cost to make them(more than double). But the fact is more people are changing their moves to Samsung. And theres no doubt from it. Also with Windows 8 phones popping out everywhere, I do not know how long Apple could maintain their greediness. I have an iPhone 5(as a gift) and have no problem with it, for now. But if I see more people using either android or windows phones, then Im planning to move on with the trends. People usually go with the popularity ;)

U r such a dummy. Simple rules of economics - price matters. There is tons of poor countries where Apple never shipped nething, but even there is alot of people who can afford iPhone (not $649-$900). Who neeed fucking iphone 5 or 4s when their country dont have 4G network, they stuck with Edge and 3G. And iphone 4 or 3Gs almost free (with the contract). iPhone 4 right now $150-$200. They dont give a fuck is it 5 or 4 or 3 - for them its still an iPhone. I personaly for Oct sent almost 300 iphones overseas. And lets get back to iPhone 5. Since Apple released it 3 stores arround me every single day sold out, i asked my friend in Aventura Mall, how many iPhone per day u r getting? 7-24 top. and not every day, more like 3 4 times a week. Not alot of people have an iPhone 5. They lounched 22 countries with iPhone 5, why? They cant provide to all customers with iphone 5 in US. I have it but my wife still cant upgrade.
