Following yesterday’s Apple iPhone5 stunt we conducted a huge1 survey of Newark mobile phone users to find out how many of them would want to buy the gadget when it goes on sale. The results are as follows:
No I’m happy with my current phone (49%)
Maybe but not for a while (20%)
Yes can’t wait (16%)
Maybe I’ll wait and see confirmed specs (8%)
No I hate Apple (8%)
1A massive total of 51 people responded to the survey which was exclusively conducted on the Timico intranet. This is the biggest ever survey of its kind conducted by Timico at Timico for Timico. However I thought the results were too exciting to keep inside Timico so I’m sharing them with y’all.
If Apple want to send an iPhone5 demo model over before the launch I have an 11 year old who is totally unhappy with his newish Nokia N97 with occasionally working touch screen (ungrateful wretch).
Wouldn’t touch it myself though. I’m one of the 49% who are content with their lot – in my case a Samsung Galaxy S2.
Interestingly Wikipedia tells us that Apple had 18.5% share of the smart phone market in Q2 11 which isn’t a million miles adrift from our “Yes can’t wait” number. Presumably their research is somewhat more scientific than mine 🙂 .
The 44% market share forecast comes from the total of yes and maybes, in case you didn’t get that – somewhat tongue in cheek I know but in keeping with the rest of this post.
One reply on “Who wants an iPhone5? or Apple smart phone market share could reach 44%?”
Im intrigued as to what the new iPhone will offer since my contract is up for renewal in a few month s but Im also wanting to upgrade my wifes phone at the same time.
I wonder if the device will have a new design? boast new features that im never going to use? But i suspect they will simply introduce a thin lightweight version of the iPhone 4 and also make it NFC compliant and cram it with the new OS 5.
