IDC notes that Apple’s installed customer base allows little room for growth and estimates that demand for the iPhone will slow in the next five years with sales mainly driven by replacement cycles. The momentum seen by the iPhone 4S in 2012 will result in overall shipment growth but a small decline in market share is expected. By the end of 2016 Apple is seen as having a 19 percent share of the overall smartphone market. Absolute nonsense. This assumes way too much knowledge about the future sales of iPhone 5 and newer versions of Android. How the hell can anyone predict with that level of detail? Oh well, I guess that’s why they’re IDC. Source]]>

  • Well think about it, people who own IPhones probally already jumped the boat to Mac OS X, where as Windows 8 hasn’t came out yet. It is most likely not going to happen but it is still possible.
