I'm not suggesting that Apple has missed or screwed up a product cycle but I wonder if the new high end android phone that have and are still breaking into the market indicate that their ownership of "cool" is over and hence their dominance in the high end is simply history. They may regain that dominance but right now they seem to be sharing the top spot with a number of new and interesting phones and phablets that people who can afford to indulge themselves with any of the choices like and are buying in big numbers.
