What? While charmingly nostalgic, none of what you said is the slightest bit relevant to the discussion. The fact remains that what's happening in the smartphone market looks an awful lot like what happened with PCs. Apple wanted to control the entire computing experience by owning the hardware and the software. They shot for the moon, missed and allowed Microsoft to enjoy a couple decades as one of the largest companies in the world. Here they are 25 years later trying the exact same trick with phones. And if you've seen the Android sales figures for this quarter, it's starting to look like they've already begun their slide into the comfortable little luxury market they knew so well for all those years.
