  • Great show, Rene! I've listened to the past couple episodes.
  • Ben Bajarin - who's trying to oust Gruber as Apple's #1 butt kisser
  • I wonder if this guy Ben believes his own bullshht?
  • Combining all currently available iPhone sales (iPhone 4, iPhone 4s, iPhone 5) and comparing that number to sales of the Samsung Galaxy S4 is still not the same thing as a singular device comparison. iPhone 5 sales compared to Galaxy S4 sales is. I'm all for looking at sales on a device by device basis as opposed to an OS by OS basis, and believe that that's the way we should be doing it, but don't claim to do it and lump all iPhone sales together to pad the numbers. This is right up there with those iPhone commercials that claim "More (x activity) is done on the iPhone than any other device" while failing to point out that the commercial is comparing all iPhone models to individual competitor models.
