This is not true, at least not in comparison to the last 2 cycles. I agree it may not be meaningful either way, but it doesn't excuse lying. You should first address those yellow boxes you drew that include pre-release data. Go back and read my last two posts. Then go look again at what you posted. RE this recent data - it is far to early to call it meaningful, let alone conclusive. I was responding to Moonray's post that cited the very early data. If you subscribe to or otherwise have access to real-time feeds, you can see that the boost since the iPhone 6 release is less dramatic than the several years' early post-release average (not sure why you're looking at just 2 cycles). Again, this is not very meaningful... October and beyond could show something very different. Also, the numbers coming in via the feeds (especially free ones like Statscounter) are not yet verified/vetted. Often, revisions are made to account for various anomalies. So it could even be that the early Sept performance was better than in the past. My entire point was that the very early look, for the little it means, is indicating a poorer than average boost this time around. Let's avoid cluttering the board with this. PM me if you want to go back and forth on the stats, which I assure you precisely support what I've said (as opposed to the misleading and limited periods you've cited).
