Um, I can say it isn't at the expense of the iPhone, because the iPhone's market share dropped only 0.3% in the MRQ, according to your NPD numbers, and actually went up according to Gartner.
Yours is a totally insane way of looking at this. The market isn't what it was five years ago, it is what it is now. And Droid has taken 53% of the market since its inception. How can you possibly argue that none of that was taken from Apple?
The 4% figure mentioned in the article, i.e., new sales, is the relevant metric. We don't much care in this instance what the past sales have been. We're looking at market share, today. A 4% drop in a quarter while your competitor soars to new heights, I don't care how you color it, it isn't a good thing. |
