I predict iPhone (not Apple) will go the way of the blackberry if the current trend for the past 5 years continues.

Android will just smash every other OS, unless someone does something radical about this. It's the new Windows all over again.


That seems very unlikely. Have a look at this: http://techland.time.com/2013/04/16/ios-vs-android/

Apple is making 72% of the profit of the entire smartphone industry. Samsung is making 29% (from Android and Windows). Everyone else is losing money or breaking even.

I'm talking OS.

 

Also, blackberry also made a ton of money in its day. But when the new boy in town arrived they didn't bother to catch up with the iOS. Apple doesn't seem to be bothered by the massive adoption of android. And I can see them going irrelevant like blackberry in about 5 years in the smartphone space.
