Looks like I called it, iPhone sales plummet
Those who believed that Q4 sales of the iPhone were going to be representative of sales figures in upcoming quarters have been proven wrong, as I stated 2 months ago.

Interestingly enough, in 1.5 years Apple has sold fewer OS X phones than MS has sold Windows Mobile phones in the same period. Funny how WM, a platform that grows every quarter and hasn't had quarters as bad as Apple's Q2/Q3 2008 in many years, is DOOMED!!!! but the iPhone, that just saw a 40% sales drop is going strong! Can you imagine what people would say if WM saw a 40% drop in sales in 1 quarter?!?! Say those things now about the iPhone because it just happened. happy

As stale as some of you claim WM to be, isn't it interesting that Apple still can't match what the stale WM platform offered 5 years ago!
