It will be interesting to see if your prediction comes true.

The figures for last year are still distorted, if only because the Fire is still US only and Apple held Samsung down through various lawsuits.
And I don't see why you shouldn't count smaller sizes, Apple clearly miscalculated here, a lot of people seem to find 7" tablets extremely useful. For laptops you don't just count the quantities for one single screen size either. That single size strategy is Apple's biggest strength but also its biggest weakness. Keeps things simple and developers and existing customers are happy, but can't fill the needs of many potential customers.
