Tech Article Assignment #1

Verizon sold over 3.1 million iPhone in a quarter, but only about 651,000 were the brand new iPhone 5. Apple was expecting a lot more iPhone 5’s to be sold, but they are still happy with the sales. The iPhone 5 cost about $199-$299, it all depends on the carrier. Although Apple was disappointed in the sales, Verizon was really happy. They made a pretty good profit out of it. Verizon made about $1.6 billion for the quarter, which is up around 16% for 2011.  This is an incredible number for them. About 53% of Verizon’s customers now use smartphones. The world has become way more advanced. It’s over ruling us in a way. I think the future will be all technology. We will probably barely have to do anything; computers and technology will do it all for us. My thoughts on the iPhone are not very good. I don’t think we need 5 different iPhones. It kind of outrages how much these cost. Apple is making so much more money from just changing small things on the iPhone, like changing the charger and cords. They are making a lot more just from that. Technology is more advanced than some people. Technology advances without us even noticing.
