iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus have had record breaking sale figures.

• “Apple had already sold about 130 million iPhones” – Information from the Q3 filings
• “Each year has seen increasing sales of iPhones” - Apple
• iPhone 6 saw the most Google searches at one time – WallStreetJournal

The iPhone 6 has becoming the fastest selling smartphone on the market and also consequently the most stolen mobile phone.  Google has carried out an investigation what the exact sale figures were for apple from the last 7 years.  Lowest being in 2007 at 1.4 million and highest being in 2013 at 150 million.

Privacy is becoming a big issue currently especially as Facebook has been in the news about spying iPhone users through their front facing camera. I think personally people are brainwashed into thinking that the new iPhone is better than others when in reality there is hardly any big significance to buy the newer model. This is due down to the fact that apple has marketed and bragged about their brand and it to have so many new features. Slowly I think their reputation is dying down, in 2007 – 2011 iPhone was known to have a very high build quality and are very reliable. The only company that do not include built in obsolescence which encourages users to repair a fault a company has made on purpose. In a couple of years I think iPhone sales will slowly decline due to the more recent companies becoming more innovative with newer technology.
