The problem with Nokia is it's business. It has for the past 5 years, had a negative revenue growth of -20% while Apple had achieved 92% positive growth. Apple's profit margin is 20% while Nokia is 1%. I can tell you that when a company operates at such a low margin as 1% a small mistake can quickly take the company negative and with such huge sales as it has, many times that of Apple, the risk is huge for massive failure.
Yes, the price point of iphone last year was what kept the sales so limited ( 100K units ) However, the production capability at Apple is still on the increase being only a couple years old. Simply put, Apple doesn't need to overtake Nokia, in units numbers, It just needs to keep increasing its sales at the present rate and have production capability to match that demand. If they keep the company margins in check with that growth, the benefit will overtake Nokia with only 1/20 the sales numbers. Now I'm talking company and not just product. But, please understand I look at what's important to me as an investor, not what fanboys wish to see in unit numbers. Frankly I do fail to understand the excitement fanboys have for any of these products numbers. I only appreciate the excitement fanboys have for product features. For me the product should just work and do what I need but the company should do its job and keep me in income. You and I have differences in what's important, and we both should respect those differences.
