For almost nine years since the launch of the original iPhone, Apple has posted year over year (YOY) gains in iPhone sales. Today (April 26, 2016) will probably be the first time in that nine years that Apple will report a YOY decline in iPhone sales.
I mention this because it shows that the power of being the “first mover” in a market can last a long time. (While there sales my decline, Apple still makes billions of dollars on iPhone profits.)
