#2> Apple won the smartphone wars a long time ago.
This claim is made, but it's not very specific. In what way did Apple win the smartphone wars ?

I think they may be meaning in terms of profit.

I was highly surprised by that assertion too. If you take market share as a determiner, Google has basically crushed Apple: https://www.idc.com/prodserv/smartphone-os-market-share.jsp

The sale of smartphones? Concrete numbers seem hard to come by, but it seems unlikely that there are as many Pixel/Nexus phones out there as there are iPhones. Google has a lot more 'copycats' to contend with.

#8A couple nitpicks:
- Virtual Reality - still hasn't demonstrated mainstream appeal. I'm pretty bearish on it being the next 3d TV's
- Resolution - Does anything north of 300dpi really matter at this point? Maybe for VR, but see above
- Privacy - as data breaches become the norm, where/how do you want your data stored?

When they took a massive 15% of the worlwide marketshare, of course. Thus making them the supreme victors over Windows Phone and Blackberry.

I'm actually pretty bullish on that, considering 3D TVs fizzled out pretty quickly.
Edit because I think I wasn't clear: I think setting the bar for VR as what 3D TVs accomplished is very pessimistic. VR seems vastly more promising, both moreso than 3D TVs did at their peak, and also on their own right as a very interesting and wide open medium.
