Apple will be just fine. But a new TV? Eh, that’s so 1950s.

For such a highly profitable compaany, the stock falling like this is ridiculous (assuming that the initial proce before the fall was correct, by whatever definition). Stock markets react to ‘sentiments’. How unscientific is that.

Time to disrupt Wall Street.

You haven’t won.

There is no way of “winning” the game of global communications and robotics. In 15 years time the landscape will have changed so much you won’t recognize it much like a man from the 50s would be clueless in our society today.

Apple needs to change its rhetoric. This is the true legacy Tim Cooks can leave.

Instead of believe in the mantra “we have won, now what” he needs to change the tune. The same tune Samsung and Google are singing now. Evolution is the only true master.

They are playing the long game. Tech giants come and fall. Business giants come and fall. Governments come and fall. Apple is becoming complacent and that is their #1 enemy. The enemy within.

Apple had a few good years creating markets that everyone ignored. Now that others are catching up, will hundreds of millions or billions of people keep paying a premium for Apple products? I’m guessing they would prefer something that’s close enough at half the cost. That kind of competition kills profit margins, and eventually the innovator returns to just being an ordinary company that makes decent profits in a limited market. They did great at taking what was there but they can’t repeal gravity.

The only exception is if Apple can create a massive monopoly. Standard Oil and Microsoft played that game pretty well and both created the richest man in the country at the time (it took a lot of vertical integration to pull it off too which Apple doesn’t really have to the same degree). 100 years passed between those two monopolies (and until last year a fragment of the older monopoly was worth more than Apple). Apple is cool but I doubt it’s early enough to play the same game as them. Well it was but MS won that time.

Btw Nicholas, RIM had subscriber income too… and had and still has a lot of cash…

I’m not licensed to give specific investment advice other than to exercise due caution and think about why you believe a stock will do well before you buy it. Buy the iPhone just because everyone else is doing it, but not AAPL.

Looks like Mercedes, BMW and all the high end car makers are in trouble too because their market is more competitive.

Dude, some of the poor will get rich and when they do they buy a premium phone so the market is not saturated. It is only saturated in realm of trolls and analysts.

Marketshare among the many android makers is great but the competition among themselves is killing them except Samsung and Samsung is also whining about falling profits in the future.

Btw the android route is the race to the bottom which very few wins.
