“A one time bump. Once the cult of Apple has the bigger handsets, sales will plummet.”

Sure. I’ve heard the “sales will plummet” so many times...

“The cultists flock to the store to *finally* replace their tiny-screened devices with bigger screens. Once that transition has taken place, demand will plummet.”

Recent threads indicate that it is android users who are switching to the Apple product. There are so many android users, the slowing of demand may take a while.

“In the end, they are still losing big-time to Android.”

That would require profits from companies producing the Android.

I truly hope Android makes a game of it long-term. Competition is better for everyone. I upgraded to a larger screen - probably available thanks to competition.

Still, you are making up crap and pretending it is true.

Sales have already plummeted, friend. That’s why Apple - who once dominated - now only holds 13% of the market.

Also, profits are not as important as you’d think. Look at Amazon’s zero-profit growth model. Dominating the market is more important, and Apple has already lost that edge. Just like they did in the PC market.
