stock price

As you know, there are many types of smart phones available recently. In this presentation I would like to tell you about how the smart phones have changed from different era’s. There is also a comparison between the recent and the first smart phone ever made. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.66.3.27 (talk) 19:07, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

Should we even have that there? It is a speculative gossip. "according to some analyst" infers its his opinion rather than a verified correlation.

See speculation issue on another topic here. The stock price dropped 10% that happened around the time of incident, so slippery slope argument by a journalist attributed stock price drop as "damage" resulting from the sensational event.Cantaloupe2 (talk) 19:34, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

The reference that is cited isn't just from any random newspaper, it is a reliable and well known business-oriented publication, which is written by presumed experts in the business field. His opinions in the source are considered that of an expert. Anyways, the reviewer's analysis of the article seems very thorough, I'm sure he considered all of the aspects that may be unsuitable or highly speculative, let's just help each other out and get this article to GA status. :) YuMaNuMa ^Contrib 00:05, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

I was able to access one of them, and I'm not able to find good evidence of correlation. The other link is dead and not accessible via archive.org Cantaloupe2 (talk) 02:34, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

I cited another reference that supports the claim and these two quotes; "Apple disappointed the Street with first weekend sales of around 5 million phones, rather than the 8-10 million some pundits had projected" and "The bottom line is that consumers do not seem to be overly concerned about the shortcomings of Maps" perfectly support the entire latter statement. YuMaNuMa ^Contrib 02:37, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

I re-read them. The sources all combined, still do not tie the events together as strongly interdependent as the prose suggests. Cantaloupe2 (talk) 13:21, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

The correlation between the two events is as clear as day. You first questioned validity of a market analysis produced by an expert and now you're saying that the decline in stock price was not attributed to the iPhone 5 despite this quote, "The issue for the stock has not been Maps; instead, Apple disappointed the Street with first weekend sales of around 5 million phones, rather than the 8-10 million some pundits had projected", indicating that it is in a direct and forthright manner seemingly without a question in mind. That entire article is about the share price of Apple, keep that in mind, it was also referring to the iPhone 5 and claim that the sales of the device was the main factor that led to the "disappointment" on wall street. With the two quotes provided before and my explanation, I honestly cannot see this argument resolving itself. I've notified the reviewer and asked him to re-review the section. YuMaNuMa ^Contrib 13:28, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

I don't think I need to "re-review" the content in question, but I can help sort this out. The way it is currently phrased does not seem to attribute analysis to the source well enough. To make it clearer that the stated conclusions are taken from the source, I will offer a cursory rewrite of the stock paragraph. If it is then satisfactory to both parties, work on the article can proceed unhindered. - HectorAE (talk) 20:02, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

The rewritten paragraph is spot on and I'm perfectly fine with it. YuMaNuMa ^Contrib 23:58, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

What is missing from the latest stock edits (which seems more fitting to a company page than a product page) is the lack of the critical bit of information that ties the move to the product itself.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2013/01/14/apple-demand-future-innovation/1827607/ The stock's latest fizzle was attributed to a report in The Wall Street Journal that says Apple decreased parts orders for its iPhone 5.

So should that be included? Hcobb (talk) 00:37, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Software section

This article contains a software section that seems to be basically copied from the iPhone 4S article. Now it's also being copied into iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C. The result is a bunch of extra text that distracts from any unique information about the model in question. It also means that if any problem is found with the text, it needs to be updated across multiple articles. I believe the place for this information is iOS and iPhone. When people go to the iPhone 5 article, they're probably looking for unique information about 5, not a rehash of what iOS does. Imagine if each Mac model article had a section explaining OS X's features. I suggest trimming the section to cover only what's changed in iOS on the iPhone 5. - Josh (talk | contribs) 18:28, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

Over to the right it says that the current software version is iOS 7.0.4, that is right but the date is wrong. it was released on the 14th. 173.26.151.225 (talk) 04:07, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the raising the issue. It has since been addressed. Cheers YuMaNuMa ^Contrib 04:13, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 17 February 2014

Article now reads: According to Finnish retailer Verkkokauppa iPhone 5 devices have as much as ten times the return rate of the Nokia Lumia 920 and three times higher return rates compared to the Samsung Galaxy S4.

But reference 118 also says "The data does however reveal and confirm another rumour – that Lumias have a high repair rate – something we have posted on before. Compared to 0.74% of iPhone 5’s needing repairs and 1.39% of SGS4 handsets, 1.79% of Nokia Lumia 920 handsets need to be repaired." The table in reference 119 confirms this.

I believe the reference is used in an obviously biased and selective manner. 24.105.230.153 (talk) 23:28, 17 February 2014 (UTC)"

Edit Request: Great stat about iPhone5 launch sales

I found an interesting stat about the smartphone's commercial reception.

Under "Commercial Reception" I think the following line and citation should be added before the last sentence of the first paragraph:

"During the first 16 days after the phone's initial release it comprised over 20% of all phones sold in that period."

iOS 7.1.1 got released on April 22, 2014 and is the current iOS for the iPhone 5.

timeline

I think the timeline can be a bit improved. The Iphone 4S 8GB shouldn't be broken, the iPhone5C models should be in the same lines as the iPhone5, while iPhone5S are new model lines. This would be much more accurate regarding the hardware and the production, maybe not so much the consumer perception. --Trickstar (talk) 15:38, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Not the first time it happens but it does not take away to be vigilant and alert has been detected that the use of clips which are not official cause significant damage to the iPhone 5 from Apple, so that the power supply when these are not connected to the current is weak and even non-existent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ragnar7666 (talk • contribs) 16:15, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Hot Air

Sorry, but its all a load of hot air. Probably all true, but still very few useful or interesting facts. Can't find anywhere where it tells me the difference between 5s and 5c, for example. Yeah, Im picky. Pardon me for being normal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dutchdavey (talk • contribs) 16:16, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Question concerning my IPhone 5

My phone is locked up. I can delete messages but I can't download mail. Could you give me some suggestions.--172.243.50.7 (talk) 17:46, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

This isn't for discussion of the iPhone 5. This page is only for discussing the article itself. -- numbermaniac (talk) 07:38, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

 Not done: There's already a succession template at the bottom of this article linking to both the 5C and 5S. In addition to seeming fairly redundant, splitting things out by price range smacks of original research unless a specific source can be cited to support this. ‑‑ElHef (Meep?) 13:11, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
