Galaxy SIII's Monster Launch Numbers
/Trevor Mogg on Samsung's Galaxy SIII selling 10 million units in the two months since it's launch:
With the S3 having quickly established itself as a handset to be reckoned with, the attention is now turning to Samsung’s main rival, Apple, to see if it can dazzle consumers with the next iteration of its iPhone, expected to be unveiled in September or October. Sure, Apple sold a colossal 35.1 million iPhones in the first three months of this year, but with more high-end, feature-rich Android phones coming to market, it’ll have to pull out all the stops to maintain those kinds of figures.
For real? Apple's now 9-month-old iPhone 4S sold a healthy 26 million (Samsung's model is only 10 million shy (generously adjusting for other iPhone models sold), I'm sure they'll catch up) units this quarter in spite of the fact that many would-be iPhone owners are holding off until the fall launch of the next-gen iPhone. How about we wait and see how the new handset does before we start declaring the latest iPhone-killer, mmmkay?
