If you guessed Apple’s iPhone, you’d be right. According to Google Trends, the iPhone 5 still sparks more interest than its competitors. The closest competitor? Samsung’s new Galaxy S4.
Looks like Apple takes top honors yet again in The American Customer Satisfaction Index (ASCI) annual rankings of customer satisfaction for mobile phones in the United States. The bad news? They dropped two percent from last year.
There have been lots and lots of technology failures. It’s part of the business. If you never try, then you’ll never know (or pivot). Here is FAVES + CO.’s ode to HTC’s Facebook phone that is no more, or at least will be soon.
The Apple App Store is quickly approaching a huge milestone of 50 billion downloads. The lucky person to download the 50 billionth app will receive a $10,000 App Store gift card. That’s potentially 10,000 $.99 apps you could download, the equivalent of 66 iPod Nanos or 30 16 GB iPad Minis or more than 3300 songs from the iTunes store.
Not to worry, if you miss the lucky number, but download one of the first 50 apps after that, you could win a $500 App Store Gift Card
At the time of writing this post their countdown clock reads 49.2 billion downloads–and it’s moving fast.
You don’t even need to be an Apple customer to be considered, you can enter to win without purchase or download.

There were a lot of changes in the social and technology worlds this week. My job at Faves is to keep you up-to-date on, well, my favorites.
