No, they merely have a smartphone market share of about twice that of Apple.

Apple had millions of trendy geeks clinging to Macs for 25 years. They've been rooted to about 5% market share for that entire time and would have gone out of business in the late 90s if Bill Gates hadn't rescued them.

30+ years ago the company was about the biggest PC manufactuer in the world, with one of the biggest IPOs in history. Fast forward a couple of years and they'd been obliterated in the market they virtually owned.

Patent lawsuits and attempts to restrict consumer choice are not signs of a company with years of strong innovative ideas ahead of it.
