OK, then I’ll make this really easy since you two seem to be easily confused:
Apple does not lead in Smartphone OR general phone markets. They are not a market leader.
Is that clear enough? I thought it was pretty obvious and easy to understand that there are two markets that apply. And that Apple leads neither.
I don't see anywhere in this thread where it was said the iPhone was a leader in marketshare in any market. I do see you being very dismissive of the iPhone's accomplishments, instead touting the lesser accomplishments of your preferred platform.
