The fall of Apple iphone market share.
- peaked at ~40% in 2009
- kept falling none stop to 20% in 2015 and stayed at 20% since then

Does that sound similar to Tesla in EV market share? More below👇

$AAPL $TSLA

Apple iphone market share peaked in H1 2009 and then falling, the stock should fall too, right?

But no, $AAPL was up 10x in the next 6 years from 2009 to 2015

That sounds impossible if we look at how fast Android was gaining market shares.

The answer is, Apple claimed MOST of the profits. (> 90%)

So how Apple was able to pull >90% of the profits while had only 20% of market shares?

Hardware software intergration

That is the secret of Apple success. They create their own software and design their own hardware so it work beautifully with each other.

Vertical intergration, does that sound even more familiar now? That the Tesla's secret too.

Tesla is the only company that can sell cars and upgrade the cars later with FSD software.

According to Elon, FSD can increase the value of a car by >5x, or >$100k. @elonmusk
