Great news for Apple, but what made July so special? Was there any Stand out apps?
Could be just based on the current number of iOS users. Looks like this ‘tidbit’ of exclusive info was provided to CNBC to grab some headlines. ‘Coincidentally’ afterwards, Re/code reported the iPhone 6 event was set to take place on Sept. 9.
Heh, good point Gary. Always the source of information (iPhone specific) we can count on. A little self promotion? Why can’t companies give themselves a pat on the back eh? Lol.. 😉
