"In Western Europe, just 75% of users will by their next phone from Apple, down from 88% in 2011, while the proportion among American users has slipped to 88%, from 93%, according to the research"
good Grief.. in any other market Forbes would be screaming "MONOPOLY !"

...on Android I've made far far less revenue on the same apps, only to see my app get 'returned' daily and probably pirated. It's worth the pain still at this point to hit iOS first and Android afterwards, especially to make 3X to 4X revenue on iOS.

That's not a loyalty problem, it's a lack of incentive to buy.

Not quite sure how any of the subsequent discussion here relates to the point of the article, which was a valid one. The growth curve, which previously seemed to have no ceiling, has leveled off. That's significant, and it absolutely puts Apple in a position of having to do something big and bold (and successful) to avoid the perception of being on its way down.

I thought Google only counted activations of official Android devices, which does not take into account any forked versions of Android (not Kindle Fire, Nooks, etc) or devices still in the retail channel.

Could be. So where did you get those nonsense percentages in your prior comment?

Simply put, unlike other manufacturers, Apple makes their products too good (be it overall features or even the materials used). It's much like how their computers seem to last considerably longer than their pc counterparts. I'm still using the iPh4, ftr.
