Are there any studies or opinion polls about how consumers are seeing the iPhone? The fact that experts and early adopters are bored with the iPhone doesn't mean that the normal customer isn't still excited about the product. The customers didn't read or hear iPhone stories on an almost daily basis. For them all the Apple products might still be those exciting, desirable gadgets that they must have. Not to mention the Apple fanboys and girls who buy every new product that Apple offers and wouldn't touch any other.

Not sure if you are asking about how non-users view iPhone. As for users: http://www.jdpower.com/content/press-release/upO8vjP/2012-u-s-wireless-smartphone-customer-satisfaction-study-and-2012-u-s-wireless-traditional-mobile-phone-satisfaction-study.htm http://www.jdpower.com/content/press-release/upO8vjP/2012-u-...

I dont know about studies, but I have observed - if tech goes gaga (original iPhone) it does not sell very well, if tech calls it absolute failure (iPhone 4S) it will sell like crazy.

  Tech press often gets it wrong. The Galaxy Note "phablet" was another example. The original reviews called it ridiculous, but they actually sold well. And I've seen a lot of seemingly happy users with them. http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/16/3246378/samsung-galaxy-note-sales-10-million-worldwide http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/16/3246378/samsung-galaxy-not... 10 million is of course not iPhone-big, but then again, this is just one phone in Samsung's lineup. And it is more than Nokia has sold all their Lumias, for instance.

Yes. It's called Market Share.
