And, not just as the company’s first-ever handset offering, the iPhone has succeeded in an entrenched and competitive handset market. Still, Apple’s a bit of a one-trick pony with their iPhone. They’ve only got one form-factor with one model (different storage capacities notwithstanding).…
The million dollar question: Will Apple license Mac OS X mobile and let others make an iPhone?
Why does Apple have less than 3% market share? They refuse to license the “most advanced operating system” to other vendors. Their ecosystem is profitable, but that is because they enjoy a monopoly whereby they can charge whatever they want for hardware since you need their machines to run their software.
