I’m confused. They surveyed 500 people to get their report? Why not just get the sales reports for the companies? How can you be accurate with a sampling of 500 people for the entire planet?
Everyone seems to be in agreement that Apple is at an all time high on sales of iPhone 6.
The thing is that I think about 1/4 of people left Samsung? The only question is why?
US market share. Globally, Apple's market share is in the low to mid-teens. Higher for tablets, lower for phones.
“How can you be accurate with a sampling of 500 people for the entire planet?”
You can’t. Besides, I’m guessing this “sample” is U.S. only, so the results are only moderately interesting, since the rest of the world combined has a bigger total share of smartphones, as well as different market predilections than U.S. buyers.
The other moderately interesting factoid, is that it appears Microsoft smartphones are nearly non-existent statistically, at least in the U.S., which is yet more proof Microsoft’s mobile “strategy” is a complete failure and that Microsoft will NEVER compete in the mobile world, which means their big Cortana push will alienate Windows 10 desktop/laptop users just as much as their insane and doomed attempt to put a touch-centric cell phone interface on every PC on earth.
Actually there are a lot more reports than that. . . it's true. Other maker's sales are dropping like stones.
That’s because the real numbers don’t make Apple look as good to their paid trolls here on FR. These kids are like the other homosexuals that claim, “Heterosexual AIDS infections up 50%!”, when 2 heterosexuals got AIDS from an infected homosexual and now 3 have it; a whopping 50% increase!
The report is actually coming out soon, direct from Apple ... but these guys (Consumer Intelligence Research Partners) have to get their report out BEFORE Apple releases their numbers, or else their report is redundant ... doncha know ... :-) ...
In any case, you’re going to see some pretty DRAMATIC sales numbers from Apple!
