Also if Apple fails who will replace its market share? Microsoft?
What if it's failure to keep the lead in innovation? Maybe being on the ropes and being declared dead or irrelevant is what it takes to motivate innovation? There was a time when Steve Jobs was told he should sell off Apple's assets and shut the doors. Right after that is when one becomes desperate enough to do something really new.
- qwrusz 10y agoDoes Apple have a lead in innovation to even keep? You may be right, being on the ropes and declared dead can be a catalyst to motivate innovation. But that's not much help here. Apple is nowhere near the ropes or being declared dead; not in any practical, rational sense of the words. Maybe Apple has plenty of innovation happening they don't release or it's comfortable it can hit the On-switch when it wants to? Unlike Apple's need to make a comeback back in 1997 there is less incentive to release major "really new" stuff today in as quick a cycle as they used to. It can actually hurt them long-term if that pace continued. "How fast do you need to be to outrun a bear chasing you?...Just faster than the guy next to you."
