1) The US is a traditional Apple stronghold. If Apple is getting left behind on their own turf, that would paint a grim picture about the international marked.
2) It's an erroneous generalization to disregards exceptions (iPad and iPod are not phones and belong to a separate marked). They have done this before though, when iSteve on stage claimed Apple was the largest mobile devices company in the world which most people outside the US would know not to be the case [http://bit.ly/asKp35]. 3) That's doesn't even make any sense. 4) Again a resorting to generalization by including iPads/iPods and this time also drawing in a world picture, even though the report clearly is limited to the US. 5) That was Apple's way of squeezing subsidized pricing by offering exclusivity to the carrier. If rumor is true that they still have 2 years left of the AT&T contract, they are in for an even greater shock as the AT&T marked gets more and more saturated. Fun reading more ridiculous statements, keep them coming Apple.
