First of all, I will short any stock you pick. It is always a good bet to predict that a company will soon be in a downslide.
Secondly, your personal feelings about the iPhone UX doesn't matter.
And finally, despite the earlier "expert predictions", somehow Apple have been posting record iPhone sales per quarter. Whoever these experts are, they such at prediction.

- Zigurd 13y agoThe market share numbers are true, but only Apple and Samsung (some of which is attributable to Samsung's unique vertical integration) have a significant share of profit from smartphones.
