Apple wins Christmas
Following the Christmas Holiday period, mobile analytics firm Flurry released a report that must have given Apple shareholders and bosses alike a nice little holiday shiver up their spine.
During the oh-so-profitable- Holiday season dates of December 19th through December 25th, 49.1% of all new devices activated were Apple devices, which, whilst ever so slightly down from last year, still makes them dominant over other mobile device companies.
Samsung devices were 19.8%of all device activations, and Nokia devices made up just 2%.
The 5.5-inch iPhone 6s Plus represented 27% of new device activations, whilst the most popular remained the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 at 65%.
Happy New Year to you, Apple. If you’re one of those lucky folk who got a brand new shiny iPhone or tablet over the Holiday season, why not make money on top of luck? Sell us your old iPhone Dummy!
Amazon’s New Years Eve Wish
Do you have a 2016 wish for yourself, your family or your company? Jeff Bezos does. Do you think it’s the same? It might be. Want to find out?
It’s to win an Academy Award. As ambitious as we might be, this is not on our wish list for 2016, but kudos to you if it’s on yours! Jeff, the CEO of Amazon, is pinning his hopes on Amazon Studios to win the prestigious award.
From the Sauce:
“We want to win an Oscar,” he told German newspaper Die Welt in a recent interview. “Amazon has already won Golden Globes and Emmys. Our current target is to produce 16 home movies a year.”
Amazon’s first movie, the Spike Lee film Chi-Raq, is apparently already generating Oscar Buzz, (although a not very great imdb rating…) so he’s nicely on path to succeeding. But then – he’s the CEO of Amazon. That’s seemingly a path to success all on it’s own, whatever the industry.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Kids! Hope you had one hell of a bash to bring 2016 into the world! And what a beautiful monster she’s turning out to be…
We hope all your resolutions and hopes and dreams come true this year, and that our resolution comes true too – that our world is filled with your stinky old iPhones!
