Playing with rigged surveys

Depends on how they define "smartphone"

If they use a list of features that every iPhone has but don't all come as
standard with Android (thay'd only need one feature that lets them disqualify
most Androids as "smartphones" for this to work), those figures would
be believable.

Makes mention of iPhone5 impact
Authored by: hardmath on Monday, January 07 2013 @ 11:28 AM EST

There was a previous discussion regarding a bump in "12-weeks ending October 28 2012" iPhone sales, attributed (by me) to iPhone4S rollout.

Here of course one naturally suspects the long anticipated iPhone5 rollout provides a bump, which the article acknowledges without any clear delineation (stating that "older models" also contributed to the sales). Because it specifically cites AT&T accounting for a large part of the pickup without connecting those dots, one has to assume the facts are being tailored to a narrative around the leading sentence, supposedly taking marketshare away from "Google Android."

I suspect that Christmas sales will tell a different story, but who knows if Forbes will still be eager to cover that.
