25 out of 45 semi-random Twitter users were more accurate than @tomiahonen. Therefore the median of all of the forecasts was more accurate than Tomi but Tomi was more accurate than the average of all forecasts.
Counterpoint data is out. Nokia/HMD had 1.3% market share on Q2 2019. Unless @tomiahonen gathers up a competing market share analysis, it seems to me that @LasPent and @SamailaGoje get to share the #1 position in the forecast contest: https://t.co/nbJxIgQtgK (Tomi ranks as #26)

Tomi on iPhone X: "And if you thought last year was an anomaly, and the 'anniversary iPhone' would somehow fix the 'temporary' drop in unit sales then no, that will not happen." Last 3 quarters of iPhone sales: 170.8M vs. 170.0M YoY.
I made a separate post about this "past forecast" of @tomiahonen, it was too insane to be left lost in the middle of another blog post: https://t.co/alC4L5V1YW
One interesting note: according to @tomiahonen he said already in June 2010 that Android would become bigger than Symbian in year 2011: https://t.co/YKz2M9GXhs (Later he has said this only happened because of Elop.)
But this old blog post still is stunning read and turns the writings of @tomiahonen quite awkward, what comes to his credibility: https://t.co/zL4JcRoNk5
Oh and please remember in his words Nokia 8 was not a flagship (so I have to assume the new Nokia 8 cannot be a flagship either) https://t.co/dZaWNHnKeD
@TheLeeBase Nokia 8 Sirocco has manual adjustment, no mechanical shutter. Besides it's (in Tomi metrics) inferior to Galaxy S9 because it does not have SD card slot or 3.5mm headphone jack that Galaxy S9 has.
(And that guy in Tomi's blog will say it will not sell b/c no unlocked bootloader.)

@ivabiggun71 Having witnessed that knowing people within the company that is very good coverage of what happened. Some new info but as rest of book is consistent I have to trust those are mostly right.
To his misfortune Tomi agrees. 😂 https://t.co/jBMorsHuTq
