'Solid' forecast from Apple chipmaker Skyworks may bode well for 'iPhone 7' production

Propably yes, but market share will be down on every hardware category they're in. You're allowed to shoot me if I prove wrong next TuesdayJust kidding about that last of course
Apple’s share of the overall smartphone market is meaningless. All of the usual benefits of larger market share accrue to Apple regardless; manufacturing economies of scale to keep costs low and provide high margins, most desired brand among all market participants, ecosystem lock-in to get development done on your platform first, and the lion’s share of global profits. It gains these benefits from having majority share of the most important segment of the smartphone market; that being the premium smartphone market.
The reason Apple"s share of global shares declines was explained by Cook very clearly; it's because there are about 2 billion people still using feature phones, typically people who cannot afford anything more expensive. So these people, when transitioning to smartphone's, are going with the cheapest handsets and That means an Android handset. But as people transition through the Android universe, to higher-priced and more capable handsets, they eventually come to the iPhone and those who can afford one, but one. But there's far more people transitioning at any given time from feature phones to smartphone's than from Android to iPhone. Cook described Android as training wheels for the iPhone. That's an apt description. -

2old4fun said:The idea of marketshare is so wrong. I cannot understand how people keep speaking of Apples marketshare as if it's important. Apple is not losing customers. The market as a whole is increasing the number of available customers. And if the number of available customers grows faster than Apple grows their number of customers then Apple's market share based on customers will be less. Apple runs a profitable business.
Apple is about money these days instead of bringing the best to their customers they used to do. Market will respond to that. -
Apple's iPhone is no Blackberry: a closer look at AI and the world's biggest company
Apple was far ahead of the competition a few years ago. Maybe iOS is technologically superior to android. But today's middle rate android phonespecs are far outpacing Apples. You can even get a skin so it works and looks like iOS. Only if you're a diehard Applefan you'll chose IPhone over others. It's far less compelling this year then 2015. And they should react. I have very high expectations for WWDC.
Same for the MacBook. Look what Azus brought to market with the specs and prize.
Apple has to a) out innovate competitors b) produce at least with the same specs a bit higher prized (not that much as it does today). If it isn't be able to do so they will notice big sales drops in their whole product range.
Apple performed always the best when they were in an underdog position. I hope they remain that mentality. -
