<<Only a minority will overpay for the perceived bling factor of an Apple product and the rest will compare the features and price and go with Android.>> Minority is not a very precise term. That could mean 49.9% of smartphone buyers. Apple has close to 60% of the profit share in the mobile phone business. I think we can be satisfied with that and let the others race to the bottom as they battle for the other 40%. People do not buy Apple primarily for the bling factor. They buy apple for the platform factor, the ecosystem, for the safety and the it just works factors.
