Article denying Forbes claim of s6 sales

[Techno-guy]

A little off topic, but why isn't it Samsung's fault?
Were they required to release the S6 with the present issues?

And, wasn't it Samsung who collected my nearly $1,000.00 for the S6? Maybe T-Mobile got a few dollars off the top but my purchase was mostly a pass-through to Samsung so they are ultimately responsible.

The S6 doesn't have to have the battery draining issues it does so I agree that Samsung needs to take responsibility and fix it. The Sony Z3 has stupendous battery life, the LG G3 (and it appears G4) work fine, at least according to Phil's first hand use of the G4 which he said lasts him all day, and then some, where his S6 needed charging when he left the office (just like me).

Maybe we should just wait for Samsung's official numbers.

In the meantime, does high or low GS6 sales means the device is any better/worse? Nope. The phone is great irrespective of how it sells. Sales are Samsung's (and their investor's) concerns.

It may come as a shock but I totally agree.

I pay close attention to sales reps at every retail carrier. The vast majority have no idea what each phone's pros and cons are, never mind any features. The iPhone is just simple to sell. Nothing more and nothing less. Just simple and easy. Nothing a sales rep needs to invest time in learning the product. Nothing to do with margins either.

But ask a sales rep about some features of an m9 or the motoX, and they just cringe at the thought of having to demonstrate the items. It's like they are lost and have no idea what they are talking about.

(disclaimer: not all reps are that bad and some are great, but most are lost on anything that they just don't know or use daily.)

That's for sure. A rep tried to tell me the One M9 is the best and has the best camera with 20 megapixels. Yet it scores the worst on the camera reviews and real world experience.
