So market share is declining.
The reasons he gives for Apple's market share to increase are not new. They have been losing ground despite the conditions he describes. If we wants to argue that Apple is going to reverse this trend he needs to give new reasons.
- gek0gk0 10y agoTo date, this has been offset by the fact that iOS devices have much longer average lives than Android devices, and are routinely resold one or more times.
- jsjohnst 10y agoApple was a very successful company selling Macs, with their low market share, I personally feel the same can be said with iOS too. Apple has proven you don't need majority market share to still have a controlling position in the market.
- cageface 10y agoThat may be but that's not the claim made in the original article. He claimed that iOS market share would increase, which hasn't been the case for a while now, so it demands some justification.
- jsjohnst 10y agoHe did offer justification. While I may not agree with it completely (and it sounds like you don't either), our disagreement doesn't negate his own personal opinion.
