I agree with you. Apple, while being an enormous company, will likely be unseated if (or perhaps when) the iPhone ceases being as popular as it is. Google, Facebook, Amazon (maybe to a lesser extent, maybe not) seem to have become more like vines clinging to the fabric of society. They have their fingers in everything and know everything about us.
- mark_l_watson 8y agoI have thought about the same thing: if a company like Samsung came out with an even more beautiful phone and did not install crapware and didn’t allow phone companies to load crapware - and halved the cost of a similar iPhone, that could really scoop out Apple’s profits. But, loading crapware will go on, and nice phones will always be expensive so I think Apple is in great shape long term.

- jclardy 8y agoI think the problem is that doing what you said is insanely difficult. Look at the Essential phone for a recent example.
- mulletbum 8y agoNot to mention, I don't think Samsung dislikes the margins. Apple's phones being more expensive helps push Samsung's device costs up too, so they can make more margin. I doubt they want Apple to fully leave, they are potentially making more money just by getting to sell their phones at a higher cost when they can potentially make them even cheaper than Apple makes the iPhone.
