Re:IPhone share hit 36% in U.S., fell to 20% in France by babebridou on Thursday December 22, 2011 @01:57PM (#3382749)
I'm just implying that when the entry price of your product doubles and competition undercuts you to death, it's no surprise your market share goes down - at least in France.

I'm also implying that maybe under Apple's pressure, maybe with their cooperation, maybe against their will, the various french mobile operators settled on a common price for the iPhone that is way higher than when Orange had a monopoly, which is illegal as far as I know.

"The French market is showing increasing signs of price sensitivity" really is an euphemism for "The French see what you did there, Orange, Bouygues Telecom & SFR". Android has nothing to do with it, really.
