AppleInsider reports today that Canaccord Genuitys Michael Walkley is forecasting that Apple will sell 101.6 million iPads and 193.9 iPhones in the next calendar year. The iPad sales in particular would see Apple claiming 58.4% of the tablet market as a whole. He thinks that Amazon will only sell 10.7 million tablets and Samsung will only sell 8.4 million. As far as the smartphone market is concerned, Walkley says that Apple and Samsung will be the two dominant parties, with Samsung shifting a whopping 303.6 million phones. Together, he expects Apple and Samsung to have more than 50% of the market. Walkley also says that Apple and Samsung together had 106% of the handset industry profits in the third quarter of 2012. And it doesnt look like the dominance of these two giant rivals will be broken any time soon, as the nearest competitor is Huawei, with just 47.9 million smartphone sales forecast for next year.
