    Interesting to see even with 24% YoY decline for smartphones, Android shipments fell 38% vs 6% for iPhone. Apple has completely gotten the hardware and software integration right to create whole better than the sum of its parts.

      Yeah, Apple might charge out the ass for mediocre hardware, but their UI/UX game is in another league compared to android.

      But, that’s the benefit of only having to support an extremely limited hardware configuration.
