  • "When iPhones Ring, the Economy Listens/Gloomy economic news and the wild swings of the stock market may be getting you down. But at least you can count on this: We've entered the sweet spot of the iPhone cycle."

When you do the multiplication, it's going to matter.' He estimates that iPhone sales are adding one-quarter to one-third of a percentage point to the annualized growth rate of the gross domestic product."]  New York Times [Free Registration Required] 10:19 AM
