Smart Phones
1) Apple sold 8.4 million iPhones in the quarter, a 61% growth year-on-year, but fewer than the 8.75 million it sold in the previous quarter. This may be in some way to be expected with Apple, given their unique smartphone release cycle.
2) But the numbers paint an interesting picture. For example, based on these numbers,
-Apple now sells 92,000 iPhones a day. For comparison,
- 160,000 Android devices are being sold each day,
- 120,000 BlackBerries,
- 45,000 Windows Mobile devices (yeah, I know)
- and 260,000 Symbian handsets.
Apple’s market share in smartphones could now be down to 14%, from its peak of 17%, where it has been for the previous 3 quarters.

Q: iPad demand?
TC: Anecdotally, I think it’s beyond the early adopters already, as I’ve said. I don’t know what the competition will do. I know they’re working on things. Maybe people will subsidize them, but I’m not sure people really want another contract in their lives.
