Apple’s mobile dominance to continue: 107 million iPhones expected to ship in 2012

yea let’s see. 500,000 android activations per day in 2011 x 365 days per year. hmm how many android activations is that per year? do you need to call a lifeline?

Yeah umm, sales and “activations” are not the same thing. Since I’ve had my evo, I’ve activated it more than 5 times due to rom flashing. Just face it, the iPhone IS the worlds most popular smart phone–BOTTOM LINE.

@k1ng:
You’re a moron. 500k activations are for new devices on new lines or new upgrades. WTF gaypple fanboy!

Are we gonna have THAT discussion again..?? You mean when there’s ONE Android phone locked to ONE carrier for 5 years?? Stop using that tired ass talking point of 1 phone vs hundreds. iOS vs Android. And you really lose even more credibility when you think Google is gonna start making their own phones. They don’t make hardware you clown…

Because it’s the only comparison that makes any sense! If you wanted the title would you fight the champ or all heavyweights at once?! Let’s not be ignorant! If you don’t think that Google is gonna make phones with the Motorola Mobility that they just spent all that money on then you have officially become the dumbest man alive!

@9e91188e33d1fd270a58f07b370986bf:disqus Umm, idiot alert..!! Google’s going to make phones..?? Really?? How about the MAIN reason (not the only reason) they purchased Motorola Mobility was for their patent portfolio. They didn’t buy it to make phones. I see you’re not used to breathing oxygen up here on the surface but perhaps you need to spend a little LESS time under the rock you crawled from under. Btw, I’m still laughing at your argument of “..it’s the only comparison that makes any sense!”…

Ask anyone with a brain! Google is going to make their own phones! Why do you think that there were so many articles about Android manufacturers being nervous and wondering about their future. Wen thinking of purchases new or alternative mobile OS’s. I guess everyone can see it EXCEPT YOU! Dont you think that Google would like to get a little of that money that the manufacturers are making? To have a little more control over what’s running their OS? Maybe you should read more than my comments! LOL! Every knows about the patent portfolio but that wasn’t the only reason. There wasn’t enough of a benefit for that to be the only reason. Also “Fandroid” why don’t you use GOOGLE to look up all of the experts in articles saying that the patent portfolio alone wasn’t worth half of what they spent. Also do a search on terrified OEMs who know that Google will give the phones that they create updates much faster. Now hop off my d!ck and do some reading! Cause you don’t know sh!t!

Google had their chance. 

Why do people like you always talk about someone else other than a company wining and loosing? “you LOSE” who does, FTW? I don’t get it. Just make yourself look foolish when you act like that.

Android has multiple manufacturers that make multiple devices… Apple makes what two devices a year? Your logic is a joke

YOu are trying to compare apples to oranges which you cannot.

iPhones will continue to sell because its users are sheep not because the product is superior…..

@9e91188e33d1fd270a58f07b370986bf:disqus You read BeatWeek too much.  Time to float back down to reality.  Let’s put this in terms you *might* be able to understand. 

“More people prefer an Android based phone than an iOS based phone”

Now get your Kleenex box ready along with BGR for tomorrow’s announcement.

Your are certainly not troll!!

You have got to be the ugliest troll to ever grace these boards.

“Wait till after tomorrow when over 50% of BB users and over 30% android users go iPhone 5.”

Same tired bullshit people keep peddling every time there’s a new iPhone coming out. “EVERYONE’S GONNA SWITCH!”. And they always have surveys and quotes from “analysts” to back up their claims. And it never happens.

And why doesn’t it happen? Well, because the people who wanted an iPhone has probably already gotten one. Nobody is sitting around waiting for the fifth iteration of a handset. And there’s probably nothing new about the iPhone 5 that’s going to persuade Android users to switch en masse, because whatever they are going to announce is probably already available on Android.

Same horse manure as when iPhone 4 came to VZW.  There’s a headline out there stating that 40% of Android users were switching to the iPhone 4 on VZW on release day.  LMFAO!!!!!  Never happened, just like it isn’t going to happen this time around either.

Correct… and when it doesn’t happen, the fanbois are going to start with “Well, the iPhone 6 is just around the corner. Why would any one get the iPhone 5 when the 6 will happen in a few months?”  Actually, I just read that the only carrier to get the iPhone 5 will be Sprint. Verizon and ATT won’t get theirs until Q1 2012. And that’s from BGR…

Yes there is also alot more on android tablets then there is on the iPad. How’s that working out? It’s not about who does it first but who does it best. Lots of people are finally taking notice of this. And I’m not going on what analyst say I’m going by what friends and colleagues say who have BB and android phones and their done with the bullshit. I myself had a evo 4g. It was a horrible experience to say the least.

@MIcroNIx. Wrong. That was about people that were going switch from AT&T to verizon. AT&T must not be that bad cause no one left. As a matter if fact they gained my iPhone subs.

Intelligence, don’t see that much around here…

By robbing people and not paying commission. Not something to brag about.

Maybe some day they will steal all our data And sell it like google does.

HA! Got em!

Profits? McDonald’s makes more profit than Chili’s. What’s your point? Apple only gets that much profit because they don’t pay commission for sales like other companies. I should know, I work for att.

Why don’t you start working for market share numbers only, since it’s all that matters to you. These company’s are here to make money not retarded market share numbers that nobody cares about except you.

Careful, you’ll go blind.
