Hmm...great point. But, there must be some way of stopping them from
counting iPhones that have moved from Apple warehouses to dealer warehouses
that aren't sold to consumers. This is every business' way of increasing
sales figures, when in reality the actual sales are much lower. Look on
any car lot. Those cars AREN'T sold, but GM counts them as sold because
they sold them to DEALERS, making what they tell the stockholders a total
lie. They force the dealers to take them.

I've been in the music instrument business for years. It's certainly done
there.
