Survey shows iPhone 5 anticipation is high

by Dave Caolo Sep 13th 2011 at 3:30PM

It's no secret that customers are eagerly awaiting the next iPhone. It's another thing to support that theory with some empirical data.

Philip Elmer-Dewitt points out a survey conducted by ChangeWave last month. The group queried 2,200 potential iPhone customers and found that 31% of participants said they were very/somewhat likely to buy the iPhone 5. That percentage exceeds a similar measure of iPhone 4 pre-launch demand of 25%.

Additionally, 66% of current iPhone owners surveyed said they intend to buy the new version. More than half of Sprint and T-Mobile customers surveyed -- 54% and 53%, respectively -- said they are significantly/more likely to buy an iPhone if those carries offer it.

As for the iPad, it's hot for back-to-school. Participants in ChangeWave's survey who intend to buy a tablet overwhelmingly indicated interest in the iPad, as seen below.

so the Australian case of Samsung vs Apple with this info will help Samsung a lot!
as the judge rightfully said... Apple needs to prove that its ipad is suffering from sales of the galaxy tab both in the US and UK,
LOL i guess is not suffering at all
now that judge has more common sense then the german one

I am going to sell my 3GS on ebay for about 200$ and then get the subsidized iPhone 5. I expect to at the very least break even. Maybe you can do that with your current phone?

Hmmm...

I rarely visit this site now, (and many others, the internet is getting boring,) and I'm presented with this? Is this really considered newsworthy?

"Survey shows iPhone 5 anticipation is high," Well of course it bloody is!
