Apple Inc. (AAPL) will debut the long-awaited iPhone 6 next month, which reportedly will feature a 5.5-inch screen that is made of sapphire, a more durable material than glass or plastic. The new iPhone is likely to be a big hit with smartphone users, which could help the tech giant steal marketshare away from Android-based phones.

StockTwits Chairman Howard Lindzon, who is long Apple stock, dismissed the IDC report, arguing that what matters is that the company's "products are great, the stores are great, and new products are coming."

Yahoo Finance Editor-in-Chief Aaron Task says one advantage for the Android camp is pricing. Lindzon agrees. "Pricewise, yes, Android has made huge inroads," he says. "Kudos - it's great for the industry."
