Most iPhone Growth From Overseas, Verizon a "Small Bang"

Apple have seen where most of the growth is, and it's only going to grow more as they open iTunes stores in more countries. The world is much bigger than America!

In black and white then to Apple: Stop delaying iPhone 5 because of a Verizon phone, it's bad business.

Hrm...you sure it's because of the Verizon iPhone? This article pretty much paints, in black in white (so to speak), that the Verizon iPhone is only a very small part of overall sales. Basing the delay on that the Verizon iPhone seems like the *least* likely explaination for the delay.

Rumors will always be rampant and we may never know why they decided to shift delivery to the traditional iPod release time, but that might answer the question in and of itself. Or it's for some other reason entirely.

But by all means, feel free to call Apple on the carpet for "bad business" based on speculation and rumor, I mean they're not doing so good with running the business as it is, I'm sure your help would be appreciated...:rolleyes:

Hold on, so you're saying there's a market outside the USA? :eek:

CDMA is a "dimming flicker in time and space". :D

If Apple had introduced the Verizon model before the end of 2009, its sales could've been almost 1/3 of the world total.

However, Apple's extra long exclusive with AT&T allowed the Droids free reign at Verizon for over a year, and let Android (and HTC) get a solid foothold in America.

So... where are the latest Sprint iPhone rumors? Anything? :)

Perhaps we should hold a benefit dance for Apple. Or all just send in some donations to keep them afloat. :rolleyes:

Wait let me get this straight, the USA isn't the entire world? U mean that there are other countries out there with more people that actually would have a bigger impact on an American company then the actual united states??!!!

This is blowing my mind, I figured the only thing that mattered was what happened with AT&T and Verizon...

Is Verizon iOS on 4.3 yet?

looks like Verizon needs to tell their salespeople to start pushing the iPhone more instead of all that Android crap. :apple:

Still great news. Here's to overseas growth, then!
