Make Your Mobile Predictions for 2014

iPhone has never led in marketshare.

I did not make the claim that it did. I said it was way ahead of Android. And that now it is way behind. Which is true.

iPhone can't compete with the quantity of junk that Android sells overseas.

The best selling Android phones are not low end.

Overseas, they are.

Not way behind in this country, and gaining ground.

I strongly suggest you just drop the argument with JeffDenver. I have been part of more than one thread that ended up locked because of discussions with him.

I can agree with this^

This is the only place I think you are way off base, the rest all seems very likely. I really think Apple created the "c" line of iPhone in perperation for a bigger iPhone. The iPhone "6" will go larger, likely 4.5" or 4.7", it won't be phablet territory. The iPhone "6c" will be the iPhone you described. iOS7 was a major overhaul of iOS, I don't think we will see major things on the OS front from Apple. iOS 8 will be itterative. Siri improvements, maps improvements, Safari improvements, etc. will be what it brings. If there is major news, I think it will be one (or both) of two things. First, the multi user profiles you discussed for tablets. Second, I think there is a real chance Apple allows you to assign alternate default applications for a select few apps. I think browser and email are likely candidates for that.

I haven't look at any stats, but my impression seems to be the 5c have failed and isn't very popular, if that's the case I don't see them continuing with that concept. I could be wrong, but I don't follow Apple that closely.

5c is the second best selling smartphone on 3 carriers, and third on the other one. I wouldn't call that a failure.

In my reasoning, Apple doesn't care how the 5c does this year (though I think it is doing alright). Like I said, the entire reason was simply to get people used to the two lines of iPhones. Once they are further apart in specs and features, there will be more reason for people to want a "c" level iPhone. It also gives them room to raise the price of the higher end model.

Which high end Android phones is the iPhone outselling over seas?
