Lead from behind tech works for people who buy branding over functionality.

God bless ‘em all and I do hope you are making money from your Apple stocks.

Next year — people will wake up and see that Apple stopped being an innovator 10 years ago. My suggestion is to just sell but YMMV...

The Chinese number jumped from 17% (2014) to 25% (2015) because the 2014 number did not include China Mobile, which had not added the iPhone to its stable of offerings. It would be interesting to see what the iPhone sales were for China Unicom and China Telecom for 2015 vs 2014.

I’d expect them to take some market share with that move.
