32% of respondents to ChangeWave's September North American survey said they're "very likely" (19%) or "somewhat likely" (13%) to buy the iPhone 5 (AAPL) - that's up from the 21.5% who showed interest in the iPhone 4S in an Oct. '11 survey. Meanwhile, just 2% said they're "very likely" to buy a Windows Phone 8 device, while another 7% said they're "somewhat likely." The iPhone has been gaining share against Android in the relatively saturated U.S. even as the opposite holds for some other markets. [View news story]
It's not meaningless. It means that 62% have already made a decision to get an iPhone. They're not even likely to consider getting a Nokia 920 or Samsung Note II. It's already an uphill climb to get them to look at another phone.
"In just three weeks on the market, Apple’s iPhone 5 is already accounting for more Web traffic than the rival Samsung Galaxy S III, which has been on sale for nearly three months."
And you think that the Nokia 920 is going to rival the iphone 5 and Galaxy S III in sales when the app store for Windows 8 has roughly 3-4 thousand apps?
And now Samsung is going to sell a 4" Galaxy whose size they ridiculed in previous ads. http://bit.ly/TcHIoM
Now all the Samsung Galaxy fans have to either ridicule the 4 inch Galaxy or be hypocrites and praise the 4 inch version. ... My bet is they'll be the later ...
You know that Nokia is losing $1.20/share. Nokia, MSFT and RIMM [and they other thousand or so manufacturers of smartphones] are fighting over the scraps that Apple and Samsung leave for them.

Looks like those Lumia 920s will be flying off the shelves.
@Windsun33,
Which do you think has more importance to Apple investors?
A. Your interest in a Samsung Note II B: 40% of teens have an iPhone; 62% want their next smartphone to be an iPhone.

" I also have an iPhone 4 that I have had for a year -- under tremendous abuse -- and not one scratch."
BS. I have a 4s for the last year and under careful everyday use there are scratches all over the back. My son even commented how "bad" it was. Light scratches, but glass scratches.

If you point your camera directly at the sun there is a problem. Apple suggests you not point your camera at a light source.
There's a ~3 week wait time for Apple orders ... that suggests that there is a problem with production .... if you could walk into to any retail shop and get one ... that would be a problem because that would suggest that demand has dropped off.
It's either demand is a problem or it's production is a problem. ... Seems like slanted analysis doesn't it.

Some people want a cover; some people don't. The share price will go up and the share price will go down.
I was watching CNBC and they asked the expert analyst on his opinion on the price of oil ... he said with great confidence. "It's might go up, it might go down but I'm sure that it won't stay at this price." .... and the talking heads nodded in awe with his insights.

"The price is due to people doing due diligence on Apple and finding lots of complaints from customers and Foxconn employees about the scratches."
Really? And you know that because?
70% of the market is high frequency trading which has absolutely nothing to do with fundamentals. It's programmed trading done on technicals. Add on to that your day traders. And while both groups are deemed "investors", neither has anything to do with fundamentals.
Are all three major indices are down today because of fundamentals?
Last Thursday was a "Romney Rally" because Romney did so well in the debate. That was followed by several crappy days when Romney's poll numbers increased.
It's called cherry picking the data, or fabricating it in some instances. As in you have absolutely no data to support your theory that the price is due to scratches.
Though Foxconn has denied a report about a strike at an iPhone 5 (AAPL) manufacturing plant, the company did see labor disruptions last week. Foxconn has confirmed it saw "isolated incidents" on Oct. 1 and Oct. 2, and sources tell Bloomberg two shifts were lost on Friday due to worker frustration over attempts to prevent iPhone 5 cases from scratching. Some iPhone 5 buyers have already complained about case scratches, prompting a response from VP Phil Schiller. [View news story]
The overall suicide rate in China is higher than the suicide rate at Foxconn.
I watched an interview with the Premier of China, he made the observation that if China's products became more expensive [either through a floating currency or increased labor costs] the jobs would just shift to Vietnam or Malaysia.
Look at this Foxconn assembly floor in China. Where in the US do you imagine this would be replicated?

I wouldn't expect most people to cancel the credit card after one month or prime after one month either.
You can continue to get a 3% rebate using the Amazon card for all purchases from Amazon. It doesn't cost you anything to keep the card. You might have a comparable deal with another credit card you have, but most give you 1% rebates.
I think it would cost Amazon more if you kept your Prime membership. You can stream video for the included price, which makes it cheaper than Netflix. The two day shipping is "nice". On one purchase I think it saved me the cost of a full year membership.
Amazon cites the metric of prime users buy 600% more than non-prime users. What they don't say [or don't know] is whether the buyers that get prime already buy 600% more or whether prime membership gets buyers to buy more.
