Apple's business model has never been about having the most market share (though they'll gladly take their 2/3 share of the tablet market) but of getting the best profits -- Apple gets about 75% of the worldwide smartphone profit, Samsung a little less than 25%, and everyone else a negligible amount.

That sounds like a reason to buy the stock, but to be suspicious of the product.

Explain, please. The way I see it, Apple's business model is to not get themselves involved in the "commodity" level of a market segment, because there's virtually no profit there, and "market share" is, in the end, meaningless to the bottom line. They aim at the most profitable portion of the market segment. Whether you agree with that approach or not, it appears to be working for them.
