Verizon Sold Only 651,000 iPhone 5s Last Month - Weekly Tech Article 10/19

     Just this last month, Verizon sold only 651,000 iPhone 5s. This may seem like an extremely high number, but out of 3.1 million iPhones sold last month, only about 1/6 of those were iPhone 5s. This was upsetting for Apple, because they had planned to sell a ton more. However, this upsetting event for Apple was a blessing for Verizon. The reason for this low sale is because after 7 or so iPhones, people are starting to catch on and realize the insane price drop of the previous iPhone, that is basically the same thing as the newer ones. If Apple wants to make huge sales again in the future, they need new ideas and new gadgets in their products, because people will stop buying.
