Plus XIAOMI is eating Apple alive in China and will soon do the same in America.

All technology diffuses and the CRApple Iphone will soon be rendered meaningless as smart phones become more commodified each year. I give the iphone 2-3 years before it crashes to irrelevance like the iPod has

Xiaomi is doing well because they build iPhone look alike phones. If there were no aspirational devices to sell, they would flop. Xiaomi is a parasite living on Apple's designs. Before Xiaomi can ever even play legitimately in the world market, much less in America, it has to get its infringement issues taken care of. Otherwise it can't bring its products in to sell except piecemeal through sneaking them in by selling them individually on eBay.

Apple doesn't play in the commodity phone market.
