While I appreciate your frustration, people are constantly trying to help (to be optimistic about their intent) by "changing the word order". The result is often a changed and inaccurate meaning. For all our sake, I hope you choos

In case you don't know, Strategy Analytics are the ones who define "units sold" as "units shipped". I'd imagine they are capable of taking similar shortcuts with profit share estimates.

how can you ignore that the 5C costs as much as the 5 when it's essentially the same but with plastic instead of metal casing? In what way — or by whom — has this been ignored?
