It's going to drop even more in the upcoming years because we've hit the pinnacle of smartphone innovation, not much else OEM's can do to improve on what's already out there.

It will get worse not better in 2018 if companies like Apple & Samsung can get away overpricing phones every time they produce one,Why?as there been no regulations on what companies can charge for selling phones,Chinese phones are getting better and more affordable

That 18:9 aspect ratio is here to stay and is definitely going to going to increase the growth. In today's times (2017-2018), when someone having 18:9 phone takes it out of the pocket, here comes the staring from all sides.

I would think Apple should be able to push their market share to perhaps over 20% within 5 years, but it will require a very concerted effort to do so and still keeping over 90% of the profits in the industry. It will demand premium compact (the iPhone SE), standard (iPhone 8. iPhone X size), and phablet (Iphone 8 Plus size)...and on top of that, a very comprehensive and sophisticated refurbishment program for the developing markets.
