The first iPhone model was launched back in 2007, changing the way we use our mobile phones forever. Apple’s first smartphone paved the way for other manufacturers, with never before seen levels of processing power, touchscreen and mobile web browsing experiences.
Over the years, Apple has launched a number of new iPhone models, all of which have become bestsellers for the California based technology giant. The most recent iPhone 5 model is of course no exception. It is hardly a secret that the iPhone 5 has had its fair share of problems since it was launched back in September, but this has not stopped consistently strong sales with the phone remaining one of the most sought after devices on the market.
Apple Insider has recently reported that the iPhone brand came out as the clear leader in the latest J.D. Power & Associates consumer satisfaction survey. Impressively, this is the ninth time in a row that Apple has had this achievement. The latest survey saw a score of 855 for Apple, of a possible 1000. Apple was followed by Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, HTC, and RIM respectively. The score of 796 was the average achieved across all manufacturers. However, Nokia which came in second place achieve a score of 795, so Apple’s achievement of 855 actually increased the overall average, demonstrating the margin by which it was the winner.

This clearly demonstrates that users of Apple’s iconic smartphone line are happy with the products, and although there is growing criticism for the iPhone brand and increasingly impressive competition, Apple clearly remains the consumers’ favourite.
It is rumoured that Apple will be the launching two new iPhone models for 2013, and analysts believe that these will include a budget iPhone 5S, along with a phablet style iPhone 6.
