Apple Smashes Samsung over Christmas Posted: 30 Dec 2014 08:53 AM PST Apple's commanding hold over the mobile industry continued and even strengthened over Christmas, and considering the blistering start to life enjoyed by the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, it's hardly a surprise. Several analyst firms have shown Apple's products vastly outperformed rival companies through a myriad of statistical analysis, while the iPhone 6 Plus even put a dent into the Cupertino's own iPad, with tablet sales plummeting across the board. Now, analytics company Flurry has studied device activations over the Christmas period and found that Apple's iOS products accounted for 51.3% of all activations around the world from December 19th to December 25th. Samsung trailed in second with 17.7%, Nokia third (5.8%), Sony fourth (1.6%), and LG fifth (1.4%). "To put this in perspective, for every Samsung devices that was activated, Apple activated 2.9 devices," Flurry wrote. "For every Microsoft Lumia device activated, Apple activated 8.8 devices. While, the holidays in general and Christmas in particular are not the sole indicator of the smartphone market share and trends, it is safe to say that Apple's newly released iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have had a blockbuster holiday season, despite a lackluster holiday season for the consumer electronics industry." "This Christmas, it appears even more consumers are switching to the larger phone now that there is an iOS option," the company wrote. "In the week leading up to Christmas, 13% of new device activations were phablets compared to just 4% in 2013. In fact, the iPhone 6 Plus was one of the top 5 devices Flurry saw activated for Christmas; the iPhone 6 was #1. The phablet's popularity seems to come at the expense of full-sized tablets and to a lesser extent small tablets."

Apple 14-Day Return Policy App Store and iTunes Posted: 29 Dec 2014 03:56 PM PST Apple and Google have been under pressure around the world in the way in which they refund apps or try to prevent unwanted purchases within their app stores. Both companies have moved from helpful to ignorant on the subject, but today seems like a helpful day as Apple has announced a new refund policy for European nations. Cupertino has introduced a 14-day no questions asked return policy for all content bought on iTunes, App Store, and iBooks, accounting for all purchases for those services in the UK, Italy, Germany, France, and a number of other EU nations. Previously the terms and conditions read "without charge and without giving any reason until delivery of the product has started." That basically means once the content had started downloading there was no way back.
