Does the data in that photo look to you like business which is gone? :) even if Apple would stop making new iPhones next year they would do just fine for many many years selling their current models. It’s actually little bit sad that Apple have no real competition in the market anymore.

          Every year it's the same story, Sales pick up after launch of new iPhone and dips down 6 months later, again to rise up in September.

Reality is, that all of them won't jump ship and stay on iOS forever. That shows that iPhones aren't as poor as you proclaim. Tell me one Android OEM, who has such loyal following and retention capabilities. Yes, many other brands won the hardware game, but still lag Apple in software, processor speeds and its optimizations, 5 year OS upgrade cycle and all. Better reality is that, 2020's iPhones released after the end of the quarter 3. Q4 shows a better picture. Hold your breath till then. If Samsung still holds on to its top position at the end of Q4, then we will think about Apple's decline.
