"The number of Apple customers willing to pay the premium for a device that is on par with much cheaper alternatives is dwindling."

This statement is contradicted by the sheer fact that Apple just sold the most iPhones they've ever sold. There's no evidence of "dwindling." I would agree with "no longer growing quickly." In the current quarter, sure, revenue is likely to be flat, but management was quick to point out that the underlying sell through value of iPhones and iPads will grow (eg demand is still "strong" from a certain point of view).

"This is precisely why they are losing market share."

I disagree with this as well. Apple's market share loss is because the market is growing in areas where Apple has little to no exposure.

(editted to note: I didn't mean to pile on. I see Slacker already responded with pretty much the same points).
