That’s what “analysts” say, in this report from Macnn.

Because it means, apparently, that lots of people want iPhones, so that increases Apple’s net worth, or sets its stocks soaring, or something like that. The sort of thing investors like.

Somehow, I think, if Apple HAD enough stock, and kept selling iPhones, that would have made an even better sign. Because in that case, you have people who want iPhones, you have the hype, and, in addition, when you actually sell the phone, you also have the money in your pocket.

And we also wouldn’t have had people getting angry at Apple, or give up waiting and buy a phone from someone who wants to sell an actual product and not just sell hype about it.
