You know, at this point, it's getting more and more likely that Windows Phone overtakes iOS in 2015, for at least one quarter.

Lowest selling quarter for iPhone in the past 4 quarters = 35 millions iPhones. You think Windows phones can top that? 

A rule of thumb when it comes to Windows Phone sales is that Lumia sales typically take up 80% of the total. That'll leave us with slightly more than 11 million this quarter. This is before the 530, 730, and 830 get full rollouts worldwide. I expect next quarter to hold up at least 12-13 million Lumia sales. And, this is with a lineup largely seen as subpar (cue x30 lineup), or old (x20 lineup).

The thing is that I actually expect iPhone sales to dip below 30 million in at least one quarter next year as saturation takes full effect.
