You are looking at a “very old” article and prediction, from Dec 2013, which makes it more than 1 1/2 years old, and by technological time, that is ancient.
Smartphones are meeting up with the same problem which plagued PCs, and that is that, people are keeping them longer. The longer people hold a piece of technology,the fewer the sales of the devices.
Before presenting a link, make sure it’s “current”, like from no more than 3 months old.
Dec of 2013 was last Christmas or 8 months ago. It’s not a year and a half ago! LOL!

Most technology companies make 3 to 5 year predictions. Then they report quarterly (every 3 months) on Wall Street. This is so you can track where they will be 1 to 5 years from now.
So show me a 3 months or less link, from a respectable source, that backs up what you are saying. If you ignore or fail to do this, then I will know 100% you are full of $hit. I am about 99.99% sure, but I give you that .01% benefit.
