“Apple will be gone in 5 years . mark my words”
I admit you may be right, since I don’t have a crystal ball. Of course, you don’t either.
And I’m a simple guy.
... but if Apple continues to earn 89% of all smart phone profits with their 20% of market share, they’ll be, hmmmmmmm...
PROFITABLE.
Again, I’m just a simple businessman. I like profits. I prefer them. I am not interested in expensive hobbies disguised as businesses.
I believe the purpose of a business is to get and keep customers while making a profit.
I see Apple doing just that.
Android manufacturers seem to be doing the first and very marginally the second.
Based on that, I think for you to be correct will require something to change dramatically. I don’t see it yet.
I hope the Android system continues. Competition makes everyone better.

“PROFITS” for a business ... means ... you can stay in business FOREVER with “profits”!
