Friends Kingdom: Re: [iPad] Apple to wind back the clock to '09 with focus on quality, not f

Bit of a numbers game there

1. I'd ignore the last two quarters as thats a result of the proper screen sizes being used, a one off gain. That gain should be spread over the previous few years when everyone else had nomal phones

2. if you ignore the last two quarters and start from say 31Dec2011, the average being 25, then the sales are solid and steady upwards, much more modest. An amount of this is people moving to smartphones, which will subside with increasing saturation. So the sales need to come from net gains on switchers and emerging markets.

Locally, in any first world country, the gains will be low, it will get tooth and nail as manufactures compete for sales where the population growth is low, i.e. the sales need to come from the same peope, year in and year out

Perhaps you are correct
about "smartpjones" — but not iPhones:
Global Apple iPhone sales by
quarter

Q1 is almost always the biggest,
but note that Q2 2015 was larger than ANY previous quarter,
excepting only the immediately preceding Q1 2015 —
>10,000,000 (20%) greater.
