I don't think that there is any doubt that there is quite a bit of slippage with regard to apple's iphone and brand loyalty.
Bigger phones have really hurt apple imo. LTE has been particularly disruptive, and has really accelerated the change in how smartphones are used. People just don't ad-hoc browse the internet now; and all you need to know to demonstrate this is when every discussion forum has posts about "screen on time".
Apple has lost their design edge, and there are now android manufacturers possess distinct and powerful brands:
LG is buttonless
Samsung has screen tech that has no rival
Moto has customization along with value
Note4 appears to have almost no bezel and represents another serious blow to the vaunted iphone design.
Can't really justify people buying a 750x pixel with blackbars, way inferior screen tech to moto amd samsung, and lack of any true multitasking (check the tab s split screen: it will be standard soon on all android devices and it will literally be a game breaking event when people can minimize youtube videos to the bottom and browse chrome at the same time).
