iPhone Sales Lower Than Expected

Sandra Rose September 24, 2012

Apple says the company sold 5 million iPhone 5s in 3 days — but that figure is lower than analysts had expected.

Sales of the new iPhone 5 just barely nudged past last year’s sales of the iPhone 4S. Apple stock shares were down $6.60 in morning trading following the new sales report.

Long lines queued up outside the Apple flagship store in New York City for the iPhone 5 launch last week. But the lines were noticeably shorter for the iPhone 5 than for last year’s launch of the 4S at other retail outlets around the country.

“Topeka Capital Markets analyst Brian White expected Apple to sell 6 million to 6.5 million iPhone 5s in the first three days,” The Associated Press reported. “The phone will go on sale in 22 more countries on Friday and in more than 100 countries by the end of the year.”

Meanwhile, pranksters in the Netherlands thought it would be funny to super glue a new iPhone to the ground and video record the reactions of passersby.

Did y’all hear Kris ‘I pimp my Daughters’ Jenner tried to demand 5 iPhones be set aside for her so she didn’t have to wait in line? The day the iphones were released, she sent her assistant to the Apple store to pick up the phones. Her assistant was told she’d have to wait in line like everyone else..

Sucks to be ‘regular folk’ don’t it, Krissy?

That’s some good Monday morning news. For the life of me I don’t know why people keep fueling those greedy bastids. I had a houseguest this weekend who had a 1 year old iPhone 4. Who has $600 to be kicking out for a damn phone every 6 months?
INTENSEMOCHA THE ANTAGONIST

THE DAMN PRICE IS THE SAME FOR EVERYONE AND THEY GOT MOFOS LINED UP AROUND THE DAMN CORNER, WHAT MADE HER THINK HER BUCK WOULD BARK LOUDER THAN ANYONE ELSES-DUH?
pointhimout

i dont count anyone else’s money but you have to ask yaself why you’re upgrading and becoming a part of the ridiculous hoopla? since I’ve never been a follower or did things cuz everybody else is, no surprise I’m still on iphone 4. and I just got that. I just need the phone to ring, receive texts and emails. that’s it. 5 million fons at avg price of $199 = 995,000,000. They made over a billion bucks with this ness. I’ll pass.

My suggestion to apple is to make the phone as best as can be vs coming out with an upgrade every damn year. #sheeple

The sales were down cuz they didn’t have enough in stock. I went to 3 apple store and they were sold out of AT&T phones. Don’t nobody want no iPhone with sprint and Verizon, they can’t even get online and talk at the same daym time. Ain’t nobody got time for that!!

Me too Kingston. But I downloaded the iOS6 and my phone is doing everything that the iphone 5 does, so I think I’mma a pass on it for now since my phone is not even a year old yet.
