iPhone 4, 3GS outsell competition in Q2

Amazing. A phone that is 14 months old and a phone that is 26 months old are the number 1 and 2 sellers. [Link]

NPD's just published their Q2 2011 Mobile Phone Track service report, which lists the top five selling smartphones in the U.S. for the months of April-June of this year. They are:
  1. Apple iPhone 4
  2. Apple iPhone 3GS
  3. HTC EVO 4G
  4. HTC Inspire 4G
  5. Samsung INTENSITYII
And
The fact that the iPhone 4, which is 14 months old, and the iPhone 3GS still top NPD's smartphone chart is a testament to Apple's combined hardware and software ecosystem. When the 26-month old iPhone 3GS is still outselling dual-core 4G Android handsets it suggests that, in a post-PC world, regular consumers care about tech specs less than ease-of-use and good design.
