- panzer_wyrm 10y agoFor apple to succeed they have to actually make good devices. There comes a breaking point at which platform is abandoned en masse. Lets call it the lotus excel inflection. Or myspace facebook. While apple had the best hardware untill 2014 I feel they are slipping behind. Two more generations and the iphone system dying overnight is not unthinkable if they dig deeper into mediocrity.
- valuearb 10y agoI agree with this. Their entire business model is built on providing a premium experience and value to customers who value that. If customers don't see premium value from their devices, the brand will be tarnished and customers will leave. But so far I only see it happening in Macs.
