Apple’s (AAPL) was the top selling smartphone in the US during July, according to iSuppli. The handset was also 1.8% of all cell phone unit sales for the month.

According to Reuters: "The two models of the iPhone on the market sold more than Research in Motion’s (RIMM) Blackberry series, the entire Palm (PALM) portfolio and any individual smartphone model from Motorola (MOT), Nokia (NOK) or Samsung."

The news has to be music to the ears of AAPL shareholders. There had been some concern when Apple and AT&T (T) announced earnings for the last quarter that iPhone sales were off to a strong start.

With Mac sales picking up, AAPL has the chance to have three extremely popular products on the market at once. Rumors have it that Apple will launch video and WiFi enabled versions of the iPod later this week.

Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?

The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.

Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!

Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
