I found this article which mentions a 12.7% share.

Yes, that's gotta be more accurate-- my link didn't include the japanese luxury nameplates.

That is in the ballpark of Apple's share. The issue is that Apple likely only owns half of the premium smartphone segment.

Yes, right now, the "luxury" segment of the cell phone market is just huge compared to historical norms. Maybe that's sustainable?

That is a little closer to what I expected. Given the ASP of a premium auto is a little higher than a premium smartphone, I expect Apple can manage a higher share of the premium segment.
