They actually are. . . 12 Megapixel camera, with 4K video, with a steady-cam which works for video, Touch 3D which every reviewer is raving about, 90% faster processor, better Siri, and Live Photos.
Must not. When was the last time you bathed? Since you DON'T understand those nuances, it must have been a couple of years. Better watch out, your family and friends may do an intercession with a firehose and a bristle brush if you go much longer.
I have no problem with things Apple.
That doesn't sound like somebody that's tired of flame wars.
By the way, tacticalogic, show me where Apple is selling ANY iPhone 5Cs now. . . at any price.
Why? Does the value depend on who's selling it?
I see, you just thought you could get off with a slur aimed at me unscathed. . . Not so easy is it. Can't take it when it's turned back on you. Just drop it. You are the one who brought up an incompetent Economic argument against an educated Economist, and got handed your head.
And iPads have taken over the enterprise. No, wait. The iPad Pro is going to do that......
Are you still beating that incompetent dead horse? Yes, it does. . . and you don't even see it in this and every case where you arguing your initial point. Look up product life cycles, tacticalogic.
Dodging and weaving. . . thinking you are Muhammed Ali. . . more of your typical idiotic nitpicking. Yes, compare the uptake of the iPad penetration in the Enterprise market against any other tablet. . . and don't bother getting back to me.
My initial point was that the scalpers are using automated purchasing systems that are creating huge sales figures immediately after release, and this is skewing the perceived demand.
iPhones and iPads rule the enterprise market, Windows is slowly gaining ground
— BetaNews— By Mihaita Bamburic — May 12, 2015
While Android is the clear leader in the mobile market, in the enterprise space arch-rival iOS is the platform that actually comes out on top. Apple's iPhones and iPads make up 72 percent of all mobile device activations, while handsets running the green droid operating system have to make do with just 26 percent.
Unsurprisingly, it is iPhone 6 which sustains Apple's enterprise dominance, coming out as the most-popular handset in the enterprise thanks to it making up 26 percent of all activations between January and March. Apple's flagship is followed by Samsung's Galaxy S5. Together, the two leading vendors offer 28 out of the 30 most-popular devices in the enterprise.
The stats come from the quarterly Mobility Index Report issued by Good, and is based on activations made by the company's enterprise customers in the first quarter of 2015. It should be noted that it does not take into account BlackBerry activations.
You may be wondering how Windows Phone is doing. Well, smartphones running the tiled operating system are nowhere near as popular -- hardly a surprise -- as iPhones and Android smartphones, making up just 1 percent of all activations in Q1 2015, a figure which remains constant sequentially.
Apple's iOS leads both the smartphone and tablet landscapes, with iPads making up 81 percent of all tablet activations. Good says that the latest numbers are 4 percent lower sequentially. Overall, iPhones and iPads lost 1 percent of all activations, compared to Q4 2014.
In the tablet space, Android reached 15 percent of all slate activations, with 1 percent captured from iPads. Meanwhile, Windows slates -- based on Windows 8.x Pro, actually -- emerged with 4 percent of all tablet activations. Overall, Windows slates represent 1 percent of all activations, with Surface devices in part to "blame" for the rise in the market.
Here are some other highlights from the report. The most popular app in the enterprise, after email of course, is the secure browser, which is followed by secure instant messaging and custom apps. Android is the strongest in the high-tech segment, while iOS is well positioned in education and regulated industries.
Good luck running an enterprise on tables and phones.
NO, tacticalogic, your initial point was from LAST year, and had nothing to do with automated purchasing systems. Don't obfuscate your point. . . you did not say that. YOU were trying to say that DEMAND was down. If you wanted to say that automated purchasing systems in China had interfered with regular customers being able to buy what they wanted to buy we would not be having this discussion because I had already posted that story. It would not have changed the demand, because the scalpers are still selling those phones, only taking a middleman's cut. Apple would have sold them directly to the Chinese public and they are instead taking back-orders at a high rate which would have been real sales had not the scalper's program not intervened.
Next time make your argument clearly and succinctly, not obscurely and implied.
So you figure you can win this if you get to argue both sides?
Only YOU are making that idiotic strawman argument, tacticalogic. I have seen it made no where else. I certainly have not made it. . . and neither has Apple as far as I know.
Only in your confused mind. Try to pay attention. . .
My mind is clear enough to know when someone's trying to put words into my mouth. Where did you get used to getting away with that shit?
I used my 4s for 3 or four years, skipping the 5 and 5s. Got a 6 Plus about six months ago...what a fantastic tool. The only troubles are the apps get real flaky when 15-20 of them are running and the screen touch quits.
