Apple Stock Drops Over Lower Than Expected Sales
While one analyst claimed lines were 89% longer and this C/Net iPhone 5 Review gushes that this is the “iPhone we’ve always wanted”, Apple’s stock has already dropped because sales of the iPhone 5 are less than expected.

Social Media Sentiment

We ran a competition to win an iphone 5 when it was released and had a huge amount of entries.
However my personal opinion is that they are released too quickly without spending enough time fixing the issues that people have with older versions. They look a bit nicer and do a little more, this release was to be the first 4G mobile in the UK.
Ive just ordered a Nexus.
I have to agree, who wants to spend extra for an adapter. I think they pushed it through to quickly and came up short…
Isn’t it obvious? People are choosing to purchase Android smartphones with better hardware and more features than the iPhone 5.
Let’s not even mention Android phones are available at a lower price, because that’s not even the main reason for their adoption. It just makes the decision that much easier.
Amen to less expensive “Droids” and so many more to choose from and better upgrades than just a new “jack”
