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.
