Market share has little relevance when comparing commodity items with high value items. Take coffe, for instance, there is a large quantity of commodity coffee that offer little differentiation in quality among themselves - Folgers, Hills Brothers, Maxwell House, store labels. There is a little higher level of commodity in the whole bean coffee market where the prices are all pretty much the same. There are one or two very high quality coffees that do not live in the commodity trap - Jamaican Blue Mountain, for one. The iPad and iPhone are valued very highly and are not caught in the commodity trap.
