Will you continue to second guess Apple when they are the greatest money maker the world has ever known?
As I've stated before, my theory is that their profits have peaked (not on a quarterly basis, but YOY going forward). Will have to see how that turns out. I'm amazed that their market share in the US has remained relatively steady - I have been wrong in thinking it would be dwindling substantially by now. The key thing to realize is that the "greatest money maker the world has ever known" is making 60%+ of that money from a single product. If issues like bendgate, security and software bugs, and pricing don't prove problematic to their sales base, then they could very well continue growing profits (which would prove me wrong) and the money train continues. However, even a modest slip in the iPhone popularity and profits drop with it. That does *not* mean the company will collapse. I keep seeing people post about "gloom and doom... the end is near", No one rational thinks that Apple will go under, or even lose money. But to think that the iPhone could go the way of the iPad and Mac and become a high-margin but more modest market share product is far from a stretch.
