Lifelike-looking software/icons ("skeuomorphism")

I might need to have this one explained to me.

However, Steve Jobs wasn't right all the time. He made some bonehead moves in his time. Not wanting to release an iPhone with a large screen was one of them. When the iPhone 6+ came out a few months ago, iPhone sales exploded and reached new heights. All momentum to the Android platform stopped.

A good deal of android momentum slowed down when android 4.3 rolled out horribly crippled (from the standpoint of heavy users) and then threw on the brakes when Intel announced the 13nm processors.

The second quarter of this year we will see full Windows 10 running on phablets. That is going to draw the power users even if the price is relatively high. Not sure it will affect Apple that much but Android will likely take another market share hit.
