  It's a perfectly valid concern, but the way you write it, it sounds like a panicked frenzy... http://www.uswitch.com/news/communications/apple-drops-out-of-top-five-in-best-mobile-phone-chart-340182/ http://www.uswitch.com/news/communications/apple-drops-out-o... is the original press release, I believe. There's precious little mention of methodology on the entire uswitch.com website, apart from "live searches and sales". Could it simply be the outgoing links from the uswitch website?

    Notice that the iphone is not linked on the front page of http://www.uswitch.com/mobiles/ http://www.uswitch.com/mobiles/. This would indicate it's not a target market for people using uSwitch. If you put in any search criteria the iPhone scores lower as it is more expensive (any search for <£30 p/m it doesn't feature, anything for more it is consistently 8th or worse). This 'survey' is a total farce. The linked article claims top 5 selling which is totally and utterly wrong. It seems the author can't read. And also doesn't even link to the source article from uswitch.
