Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
The iPhone, however, again performs well in these
projections with a predicted two year failure rate of between 9.2 and
11.3 percent. Not brilliant, but by far the best of the three
smartphones.
Interestingly, the most common cause of iPhone
death was shown to be an accident, with 12 percent being down to the
owner dropping it or spilling their coffee on the thing.
Back in the real world of the here and now, only 9 percent of the
Blackberry and Treo failures were accidental, suggesting that iPhone
owners are either clumsy or the design of the iPhone is such that it
makes dropping the device more likely during day to day usage.
But the biggest surprise for me was learning that less than 0.5 percent
of iPhone failures were battery related, half as many as the Blackberry
in fact.
So while iPhone users may be vocal about battery life issues, it seems they have
less to moan about that Crackberry addicts.
