2GB/ mo seems like pretty heavy data usage One of my kids went way over 2GB/month, the other is way under. Thanks goodness I went with TMobile! BTW, you guys can thank me for the recent Apple price moves, regardless of what the analysts and pundits say. After all, I did not buy any shares recently and I improved Apple's bottom line and bought iPhones for my family. The kids were shell shocked - "This ... is ... a ... smart ... phone ... ... ... I've ... been ... so ... deprived ... for ... so ... long ... ... ..." (They had dumb phones so old they were literally falling apart. The phones were falling apart, that is.) Watch Apple in 6 years for my next upgrade cycle... :-)

Ericsson's Mobile Report... ... is here. It is the source of the screen-resolution vs. data consumption slide that Ben Evans tweeted out. hugin.info Regarding that data, here's the description. The gist is that the cream of the crop of Android users (highly engaged users) have phones with high-res displays. We can quibble whether Apple should be fighting with Android for broad market share, but there's no doubt it should not concede any high end segment. The iPhone 6 should help Apple take a lot of the Android wheat while leaving the Android chaff. The display: The screen is important both as part of the user interface as well as a primary way to display content. The top right figure shows the results of data consumption analysis for Android device users in a representative sample of networks worldwide. It illustrates that increasing numbers of pixels on device displays (driven by increases in both size and resolution) is connected with more data traffic per subscriber.
