Compared to Apple that artificially created a consumption cycle of one 700 USD (Now 1000 USD) device per year?

  Apple seems to lack the expertise to enter new markets and compete with entrenched players.

    Motorola, Nokia, and Blackberry would beg to differ...

      The gap between computers and phones is a lot smaller than cloud services and groceries.

  Yes, _one_ device, and with the rather long support of their devices, you definitely don't have to buy it yearly (I get your point, tough). Every product Amazon presents, is in a very obvious way geared towards making people consume more every day as if that were the biggest joy people have in their life. Ordering from Amazon via image recognition was one of the only unique features, the Fire Phone had. Why would I as a person deciding between smartphones want that? Alexa was presented in the same way, and then there obviously is the Dash button.
