Sales Of Galaxy S III Spike At Both Lawsuit Verdict And iPhone 5 Launch

Sales for the Galaxy S III are still growing every week, with more and more phones being sold. However, growth was fairly stable before. Here’s the interesting part: the week of the verdict in the Apple vs. Samsung lawsuit, Galaxy S III sale growth doubled, up to 16% higher than the week before. We knew the lawsuit was good for Samsung as publicity (especially to those who only heard “Samsung is exactly like Apple but cheaper,” which is still funny), but this growth is very good. Guess it wasn’t all bad news for Samsung!

Growth then slowly dropped leading up to the iPhone 5 launch, with absolutely no growth in sales in the week of September 4th to 10th. Then the iPhone 5 launched, and Galaxy S III sales jumped 15%. This could mean that people stopped buying phones before the launch of the new iPhone, to wait to see which was better. Once it launched, people started buying again.

Consider this: this is growth. There was not a single week where they sold less phones than the week before. Sales are growing at a massive rate and Samsung is selling a lot of phones. When people thought the lawsuit and the iPhone launch would stifle sales, they actually boosted them.

Pretty much right about people waiting for the launch. Even I thought that Apple would prove some of the rumors wrong. And it turns out, no secrecy at all. Just a taller iPhone.

 JQuest81  That would be a shocker, considering IF apple did do such a thing, the FTC, DOJ and Samsung could bring a class action lawsuit against apple worth billions for consumer trust violations, just by merely trying to shut out a competitor because of sales or hardware differences (let alone OS). If you ref what I mean by consumer trust violations, (AMD vs INTEL) Where Intel went behind AMD and somehow took over the market by ad campaigns and getting resellers to sell their CPUs over AMD. AMD turned around and sued Intel for hundred of millions of dollars, but later settled out of court because of all the BS intel was trying to cover up. Look it up, this would be no different if apple moved forward with something like this. I will say this from experience, apple WILL FALL just like they did back in the 80's, and no one will revere them as "top" supplier of electronics much to longer when it happens. They just want the playground for themselves, and not share the toys with anyone else. Good luck apple in your ventures!

Now watch Apple try extra hard now to get the GSIII off of store shelves! They might even be as ballsy and go after the Note II as well!

 JQuest81 I thing that they are going to try and go after both of them, actually!  I know that they are already eyeing the S3, but Im sure once the Note 2 comes out, they will try to lump it into the series of devices to be banned. I think its funny as hell! I can say that in the last week and a half, including my GF, I know of about  6 people who have gotten Galaxy S3s. So, yeah they are selling like hotcakes. Every where I go, I see S3s.
