Infallible
Thomas Kee, writing for Marketwatch (via Daring Fireball):
In fact, Sprint’s purchase of 30.5 million iPhones, worth $20B, is exactly what propelled AAPL’s earnings this past quarter.
No. That is simply not correct. The Sprint deal is for ~30.5 million iPhones, but it is over four years. Horace Dediu estimates that the first year would be ~4 million.
He also drops on us the knowledge bomb that iPhone sales can’t continue to grow because. Which, you know, is pretty the definition of infallible logic.
Instead, I am suggesting that sales growth like what we have been witness to will not continue at the same rate.
Like I said, infallible.
