This is a bold projection from IDC, given that the WinPho's share currently sits at just 5.2 per cent, while iOS is on 20.5 per cent.
It says these shares are due to change respectively to 19.2 per cent and 19 per cent in the next five years.
So the WinPho lead will be very slight, but it's still a lead, and it's important for fledgling Nokia, as its devices in emerging markets are set to drive the share increase.
What makes it even more audacious is that the first tranche of Nokia Lumia devices has not been an overwhelming success, and the firm is still focused on Symbian in developing markets.
IDC reckons Android will continue to dominate the market, although its share will fall from 61 per cent to 52.9 per cent, while BlackBerry will have a minimal loss from six per cent to 5.9 per cent.
