Mark, can you be quoted on this? Coz I see Samsung still pushing numbers, eating Apple fodder. They have already done 20million devices plus. On Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 6:40 PM, Mark Mwangi <mwangy@gmail.com> wrote:
The phone will be the most successful phone yet. It doesn't take a genius. The level of trust accorded to Apple is impressive.

Numbers don't lie - 2 million pre-orders with the first 24 hours, and the queues are predicted to be longer come Friday!

I agree in part with what Mark says, but I'll ass on and say that Apple has done a great job of priming consumers to want their products just for the fact that it is an Apple product (full disclosure, I am a fan and have an iPhone and iPad) Case in point http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdIWKytq_q4&feature=player_embedded I personally go for upgrades every 3 years as there are not sufficient revolutionary hardware changes to the device to warrant an annual upgrade. These devices are largely driven by the software changes and upgrades.

I think what Apple gets is the power of the sub conscious. The conscious mind sees a slightly pimped 4S but the subconscious will take in alot more once the phone is in your hand. I believe them when they say they change as little as possible because it already works as it is. the fine refinements in design and subtle changes will be noticed by the sub-conscious way before the conscious mind catches on. The realization that the phone is awesome when you hold it is what pushes you to buy the damn thing every year.

I love Apple products and I have no regret about it - they took me away from the days when I changed operating systems every week on my laptop (used to love those days though) to the days when I actually work on my laptop :-) & Thats why I love my iPhone & iPad too!
