  • "Smart mobile device shipments exceed 300 million in Q1 2013" ["'Despite its slowing growth, Apple still shipped over 37 million iPhones,' said Pete Cunningham, Canalys Principal Analyst. 'But HTC and Samsung have raised the bar with their latest handsets and Apple needs to respond with its next iPhone. The iPhone user interface is now six years old and badly in need of a refresh. Hardware-wise, the biggest dilemma that Apple faces is what it does with the size of the display on the next iPhone. It cannot afford to ignore the trend for larger displays in premium smart phones. We expect an increase on the iPhone 5's 4' display but are not anticipating a 'Phablet'-style iPhone.'"]  canalys 3:08 PM
