>While they do occasionally have a great quarter, I don't think they've ever cracked 50% share in any major market in any calendar year. Ever.

There is a different between Sales Unit Market Share, and actual usage market share.

As long as Apple user dont migrate to Android, and the total smartphone user in US being the constant ( most adult already got a smartphone ). Even if Apple sold zero smartphone in a whole year. They will still have the same market shares.

This is not unique to Apple, it would be true for any smartphone manufacturer that chooses to sell devices with a long useful life. If some Android OEMs are making products with a shorter useful life, that's their choice.
