So the idle rich and their college-age children continue to have more money than sense. Good for them, and Apple, for making their fashion-driven status purchases.

At this rate, Apple will have a majority of the market in, what, 2109?

You were saying ...

Well, I think they had a doubling in a decade. And they are holding with that growth... So, if you figured a doubling in a decade, you would come up with a majority of the market in just a big over two decades...

And that's a much better position to be in, in that you've got the room to grow and the company has been demonstrating that kind of continued growth for over the last decade.

That's much better than the Windows operating system, being "maxed out" and having nowhere to go but down, down and down... :-)

And note that the chart shows sales in $ rather than units, which obviously helps Apple because of their high price.
