They are losing market share, but selling more phones. To say they aren’t selling iPhones to more than their base is inaccurate.

They will never dominate market share for a lot off reasons, but that doesn’t mean they won’t have moved beyond their base. And they did do a lot to explode the market for those companies who have a goal of market share dominance.

I did not say that, did I?

I stated they are losing market share, and that is a proven fact. Do you dispute that?

You have hit the nail on the head. All Apple has to do is increase sales, and they are doing that.

Once again, you hit the nail on the head. In the desktop era, the idea was to isolate the user. In the mobile-network-connected era, the idea is to connect a user to many other people in a variety of ways. No one will dominate in the new connected era. BMW does not dominate the automobile market, but they sell a lot of cars nevertheless. And high-quality cars at that. If anyone wants to drive a Ford, there is nothing wrong with that. But don't confuse a Ford with a BMW.
