iOS 7 did a scumbag thing to me this weekend. I updated my old iPhone 4, which I use in a counter-top stereo. When I updated, it turned on iMessage without notifying me, then proceeded to intercept texts sent to me from my friends with iPhones, which meant I wasn't getting the texts on my cell phone (Android) that I'd been using for over a year. Just a head's up to others that may be in the same boat as me...you have to manually turn off iMessage after updating to iOS 7.
As for the sales numbers on the new hardware, that is impressive. Apple certainly does have a loyal following. It's nice to see them almost catching up to the features on Android phones as one of the main reasons I left Apple was because of how outdated the software was. With Apple in Android's rearview mirror and gaining, it should push Android to innovate even more, which will force Apple to follow, which will keep raising the bar to the benefit of us all.
I'm looking forward to the next big jump by Android, Apple, or somebody else, as these incremental updates are pretty boring and I like to be blown away.
