With iPhone Marketshare Down, will Tomorrow’s Apple Event Increase Demand?

Disclosure – we are happy iPhone users and have looked forward to every Apple launch event but the one expected tomorrow excites us the least.

Rumored upgrades are said to be a better camera and faster processor. Maybe even faster FaceID.

Yawn.

What we want is greater battery life, perhaps 5G (although how much faster does our phone need to be?) and something that folds.

We are hoping to be happily surprised with something Apple has successfully kept secret. We will see. Apple is so good with surprises, every one of their launch events is like a surprise birthday party.

With that said, the good people at Strategy Analytics put out some smartphone stats heading into the event. We hope you find them ad the above infographic useful.
