In case you wanted a better illustration of what Apple’s crazy iPhone sales growth is like.

Q: 4G and larger screens are growing in the market. Has popularity of larger screens on Android phones changed or impacted your view? And 4G, obviously some phones have battery life issues, but what do you think?
A: We just sold 37 million iPhones and could have sold more with the supply. There are a lot of people out there who like what we’re doing. —

I love the response by Tim Cook when asked whether the iPhone should add larger screens or 4G compatibility now to compete better with Android, even though both have been shown to have large negative effects on battery life.

I now have iOS 5 installed on my iPhone. If you’d like to know anything about it, ask away.

My iPhone home screen. A few notes: I’ve just switched back to Twitter from Tweetbot after a few weeks of using it as my primary Twitter app.  It is as beautiful as everyone says, but it’s also as slow as everyone says and my 3GS needs apps to be as quick as possible anymore. I’m not completely RDIO reliant for music.  I have a few CDs cached locally that I can listen to when not connected to the web, but the rest of the time I’m streaming things if I’m listening via my phone. I have this OCD thing where I need to keep the bottom row empty so that it appears “cleaner” to me.  I guess I feel like it’s a good finger-swiping area. A few weeks ago I disabled all push notifications (except for texts and voicemails).  All apps that would typically deliver push notifications now are only allowed to give me badge changes (the little red icon at the top corner).  I find this helps minimize the distractions.  I also like that I’m not bound to responding to a network as soon as something happens, but can get to it on my downtime.  This anti-push thought process includes the mail app. Be it iPhone or Android, what does your home screen look like?

A 3G speed comparison between the iPhone on Verizon and the iPhone on AT&T. (engadget) Also of note - you cannot browse the internet while simultaneously on a call on Verizon.  And if you’re not on Verizon’s 3G coverage (and are therefore on their 2G coverage), any calls that come in while using data will be sent automatically to voicemail.  (Verizon’s 2G coverage is pretty limited though with having a pretty robust 3G network).
