Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster is a guy that we love to joke about — mainly because of his insistence a few years back that an Apple television was going to happen — but he’s respected on Wall Street for his insights into the workings of Apple and other tech companies. He’s now come out with some numbers that show iPhone 7 opening weekend sales to be around 14,430,000 — a huge new record.
This chart from Graphiq shows just how big this is (Apple News readers — please visit https://appleworld.dreamhosters.com to see the chart):

The report measures overall satisfaction with cloud storage service providers among customers who currently subscribe to a cloud storage service to store data files, provide storage back-up access and help with media downloads/storage. Satisfaction is measured across nine factors (listed in order of importance): price of service; storage capacity; ease of use; variety of features offered; reliability of service; speed of downloading/uploading files; functionality across different devices; security; and consistency across operating systems. Overall satisfaction, which is calculated on a 1,000-point scale, is 860.
Box gets a 879 score, Microsoft OneDrive 872, Amazon Cloud Drive 870, Dropbox 858, and iCloud 846.
On average, 39% of cloud storage subscribers indicate having 50GB of data storage with their current service plan. An additional 32% indicate having one terabyte of storage available. A further 17% have an unlimited file storage plan either associated with certain file types (e.g., photos) or with all file types.
