Galaxy S4 not hurting ‘resilient’ US iPhone sales

Size comparison (Galaxy S4 vs iPhone 5, Martin Hajek 003)

Listening to much of the tech press, you might get the impression Samsung’s new Galaxy S4 would further erode Apple’s share of the smartphone market. One Wall Street firm ended the week on a contrary note, telling investors iPhone sales in North America “remain resilient” and Samsung’s Galaxy S4 is only selling slightly better than its predecessor.

The analyst firm Detwiler Fenton expects Apple will sell a cool thirty million iPhones during the June quarter amid expectation the nine-month-old handset would lose market share to its South Korean rival…

Barron’s [1] has a quote attributed to Gerber:

Our latest checks continue to indicate North American iPhone sales remain resilient, despite the high profile device launches from Samsung Electronics and HTC.

We believe [quarter-to-date] share at Verizon Wireless is only off a couple percentage points sequentially and that the iPhone 5 continues to garner a larger percentage of iPhone share.

The analyst also expects the iPhone’s share at AT&T and Sprint “has dropped slightly more than” Verizon due to the Galaxy S4.

Apparently, those greedy U.S. carriers had expected Apple to lose more market share in the June quarter, but were surprised learning that thus far Samsung’s S4 is up only 15 percent over G3 sales in North America.

He also predicts T-Mobile will sell around a million iPhones during the June period and tells investors North American carriers over-estimated the impact the Galaxy S4 would have on iPhone demand.

Due to the power of the Apple brand and the iPhone’s resilience to competition, Apple has been able to maintain most of its U.S. share, the report has it.

Which is a good thing knowing Apple won’t launch  a successor to the iPhone 5  until fall .

Best Buy $150 trade-in program could net you a free iPhone 5

iPhone 5 (three-up, profile, front, back, black and white)

In another sign that Best Buy could be clearing stock (or simply enticing customers to pick up an Apple handset), CNET reports the retailer will trade-in your working iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S on Sunday for a $150 credit, which can be redeemed against the purchase of a new iPhone. Given that Best Buy normally sells the entry-level iPhone 5 on a two-year contract for $150, the promotion lets you trade-in your old iPhone and purchase Apple’s latest and greatest handset without paying a dime â€" of course, excluding the obligatory carrier activation fee and any applicable sales tax…

According to CNET [1] , you must be eligible for an upgrade and activate your iPhone 5 on a two-year contract with Verizon, AT&T or Sprint to take advantage of the offer.

The deal wasn’t available online at post time.

As Dan DeSilva points out over at 9to5Mac [2] , it may not be your best bet as other places offer even deeper discounts. For example, Gazelle will pay $215 for your 64GB AT&T iPhone 4S in good condition, $75 more compared to Best Buy.

And in some cases, DeSilva notes, “Amazon will pay upwards of $300 for an iPhone 4S”.

Best Buy, an important Apple distributor, recently partnered with Samsung on so-called  Experience Shops , basically the store-within-a-store concept rolling out to 1,400 Best Buy locations.

Last week, AllThingsD reported that Best Buy is shaving $50 off every iPhone sold through June 29.
