    If we consider that Apple would be able to find the same amount of success with iPhone 5 launch, Apple should be able to take market share away from Android come October
    That's assuming that a bulk of the consumers are new iPhone customers and not a bunch of people "upgrading".

    @mjmacky, why would that be a issue? A sale is still a sale whether the customer is new or a "collector".

    Current gen DROID phones are far more featurefull than iPhone 4. They may not look as sexy (except for a certain Samsung model ). Customizability of the DROID OS, root access and a community that actually know what they're doing ... Apple should be shitting themselves.

    @ulun64, good point.

    Historically sales have jumped on new iPhone launch
    don't most product launches mean increased sales? or at least should.

    I've been using iPhones since 2007 and while I used to run into Flash sites quite a bit, I rarely see them anymore. And when I do, many offer a non-Flash version of their sites. It's essentially a nonexistent problem nowadays.

    A sale is a sale, but an upgrader does not help market share. Not that Apple is deeply concerned about that at the moment.

    You guys also continuously talk about how Apple should be worried or "shitting themselves". That makes no sense whatsoever. Their products have unparalleled popularity right now. Android may be a popular mobile OS, but it is equipped on dozens of phones. There is no single android phone that comes even remotely close to the popularity of iPhones. Every product they produce sees enormous success. Their stock continues to surge as they beat Wall Streets expectations and more and more people choose to invest. Not to mention being named the most valuable corporation in America in 2011. That's ahead of Microsoft, Walmart, IBM, and even the energy giant Exxon. Seeing as those corporations are listed below Apple on that list and are not seeing the enormous growth of Apple, should they all be shitting themselves as well?

    At this point in the game it makes no sense at all for Apple to be doing anything other than celebrating their unequaled successes.
