“Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP) is reporting that Apple saw it’s U.S. mobile market share climb from 28% in March 2015 to 40% a year later,” Ben Lovejoy reports for 9to5Mac.
“Samsung climbed one percentage point from 36% to 37% in the same period,” Lovejoy reports.
“The 40% number for current market share is bang in line with that reported by Park Associates back in February,” Lovejoy report, “but the year-ago 28% number seems a little more suspect.”

Samsung had a big phone, then Apple introduced the 6 plus.
Samsung had a cheap phone, then Apple introduced the 6SE.
Now all Samsung has to differentiate its phone is the fact you can pour fluids on them. Good, because lots of people are going to piss on Samsung phones.
There is no such thing aa an iPhone “6SE.”
ShamSkunk had to make their phones water resistant, people were dropping them in toilets and throwing them in rivers and lakes, as an excuse to replace them. 🖖😀⌚️
Samsung had a profit margin. Then Apple came along. Now samsungs creditors are all very angry.
No that don’t piss on them, they pour Champagnes on them.
And according to Lil Wayne, they have to be expensive Champagnes.
Now, how are the pundits going to turn this into another “Apple is doomed” or something?
Easy. Apple has saturated the market, so growth will slow. Income will continue to be fine, but growth, the investor’s holy grail, will decline, driving down short term investor interest.
Yep. Just take a look at the last week of AAPL trading. Down a crapload . . . and I hold a ton of it. Sucks to be long on this great company right now, but 2017 looks bright(er).
I’d say check back in the fall of 2016 for a nice shine on AAPL. Apple ‘doom’ looks considerably lame after their competitors have suffered from actual doom.
No worry on quarterly quirks when you are with a winner.
Ride it out and smile.
