Apple has already been overtaken by Beats.
Shens.
Apple's launch of the iPhone 5 in China only had two people waiting in line.
The worst launch of any Apple product in history.
Apple is the poor man's status symbol. Always was and should continue for at least few more years.

They had the obvious and correct conclusion. You need to read beyond personal bias and dive into the numbers to actually understand what's happening out there.
2 million sold at launch which is around what the iPhone 4 sold. That's still well over the launch that the Android phones have been able to accomplish. I know you guys always tout that 5 million Galaxy note sales # but that's over a month or two or more. The iPhone can easily hit 5 million within a month if not well more.They had the obvious and correct conclusion.

Obvious and correct conclusion? How much more biased can you get? When you guys link to stupid articles designed to make fun of Apple going "LOL 1 person in line only" do you even sound remotely credible? The articles go on to explain what happened, but you guys say things like "Worst Apple launch in history," etc. Bias?
