People can talk all the shit they want about how Apple screwed the pooch with these phones, but there were lines outside Grand Central today that would make any of their competitors jizz their pants.

- maybe they should give it a bigger screen and more megapixels, now THAT'S innovation, amiright, amiright???monospaced
- No just an os, phone, etc... that is more advanced than it was 7-8 years ago. Not much innovation is 8 years.utopian

Considering they haven't started pre-orders for the iPhone 5s yet, perhaps Apple are waiting until afterwards to release numbers since they never breakdown numbers by model.
- Huh? They showed the iPhone5 when it was released. This is new and why the stock tumbled.formed
- That is NOT why the stock tumbled. Tha was because of the price of the 5cmonospaced
- It was because of the lack of numbers released - see articles aboveformed
- the first tumble was because of the price of the 5c and lack of China Mobile detailsformed

Stock tumbles as Apple stays quiet.

Apple is overdue for another breakthrough product
The company's market share may have peaked. It's still a good business, but the only way up is to once again bring the world something bold and innovative.

apple will be lackluster until they find another visionary like Jobs.
hope they do.
- DOOOOMED!monospaced
- mono, you're on fire today. Keep it up!goldieboy

I'm guessing people who make preorders are the ones waiting for the 5s, not the 5c. The 5c will sell fine along the year but preorders are made by people wanting the latest, and the latest is the 5s, not the 5c. The preorders that that article talks about is about Apple's flagship device, and this year is the first time they released a lower rank model.
The thing will be different when 5s preorders open.

Apple quiet on iPhone 5c pre-orders as stock price slides

Maybe apple didn't make that many cause it knew this time people wouldn't buy them?
- Yeah, that's the answer. Apple only made 4 of each so they would sell out on the 1st day. Yeah, that's it.monospaced
- so that means it will still be a bitch for me to get my upgrade...fucking Apple never can make us happy.BabySnakes
- why would you buy such a piece of shit phone!?!?!?? Gawd, the Samsung phones are so much better and AVAILABLE!monospaced
- and AVAILABLE!monospaced
- Geeze Mono I am sorry for being a sucker for a quality product that hasn't disappointed me for the past 5 years i have owed one!BabySnakes
- years that i have owed one!BabySnakes
- Dude, I'm JOKING. I think Apple makes a great product. I'm just making fun of people who say they're DOOMED.monospaced
- dude i know, i was going along with the sarcasm too haha!BabySnakes
- sorry hahahamonospaced

Apple is SO FUCKING FUCKED. They made these new iPhones with China in mind, and just like we predicted, the lackluster upgrade, color cases and the fucking numbnuts idea to make it in gold were absolute flops. Of course, that all pales in comparison to the fact that not a sole will accept the iOS7 upgrade or preorder the new phones. What on earth will they do with all the leftover inventory?
- oh... the sales must be fake, or it's just a bunch of moronic "sheeple" selling them outmonospaced
- where is this availability chart from?fourth
- From Apple's HK website. It's just a screenshot.monospaced
- Here's one I just took.
http://f.cl.ly/items…monospaced - How will they recover from this devastating loss? Maybe if they had just given it a decent camera or a bigger screen?monospaced
- Ugh, maybe if it had better icon design.monospaced
