This is interesting. At first I thought I would disagree with the crux of the article when I read the title, but after reading it I became really convinced that he's actually right. The iPad really hasn't changed anything. It's convenient, but hardly necessary. Same for the iPhone. I think most of Apple's world-changing actually occurred in its first phase. I'm going to be very interested in watching Apple's next ten years. One thing that I think Apple has always done better than everyone else is software, and as more and more computing power moves away from the desktop, software will become all the more important. I think Apple is going to become more and more software-centric, and it will be interesting to see whether it can stave off competition from licensed platforms when hardware becomes less relevant and margins start to decrease.
