Does 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."
