I'm a big Android fan but I'm also a realist. The reason for shrinking iPhone sales is the public waiting for the next iteration of the phone. Nobody wants a handset that's obsolete in a month. Show me these numbers in June.

You are overestimating how mainstream cares for new models. iPhone is (or at least was) status symbol and personal toy, people don't care much for technical specification or hardware generations. For example, see how well 3G was selling after 3GS was introduced.

  The 3G continued selling well after the 3GS was introduced because Apple lowered the price to $99 with contract.

    It continued to sell well outside US too.

There's also the other problem: saturation. Everyone who I know who wants to use an iphone already has one. A number will upgrade when the next one comes out. I have an ipod touch, but don't want to have to carry that much size/weight to have phone service.
