Owners reportedly dumping Samsung phones following Apple’s win in court

Did Apple’s (AAPL) huge win over Samsung (005930) in court last week send Galaxy device owners heading for the hills? According to new data from cell phone resale company Gazelle.com, Samsung smartphones are being dumped by users following a California jury’s declaration that 21 of Samsung’s Android devices infringe on Apple patents — the company reports a 50% increase in the number of Samsung smartphones sold over the past few days. “Consumers seem to be jumping ship,” Gazelle.com’s chief gadget officer Anthony Scarsella told MarketWatch. “We expect this trend to continue, especially with this latest verdict.” Scarsella also noted that the increase in sales has prompted a 10% average price drop on used Samsung devices, and MarketWatch adds that several experts believe prices will continue to fall.

[pic] I'd care more about this if it a website like ebay or amazon that came out and said it. Considering these mother!!ers have Apple products splattered all over their website I'm sure its in their best interest to push articles like this one.

So a 50% increase equals people dumping their samsung phones? Who the heck wrote this article? Either that is a misprint or the writer is an idiot. Either way, anybody who dumps a phone because a company lost a patent trial is an idiot. Samsung is going to appeal the decision. Even if they lose the appeal, that is way in the future. Anybody with infringing phones are fine until their next upgrade at the very least. The worst that can happen is that many years down the line, Samsung releases an "update" that removes or changes features. That most likely is not going to happen as well.

I think it means that regular people like you and I are dumping/ selling their phones to a resale company Gazelle.com which equal 50% increase in sales.

So because one reseller's sales increased by 50% that means people are dumping samsung phones? How does the writer know that the sales increase relates to the case? Without further evidence, this is reaching.
