I don't think so. The examples of IBM and Xerox were truly dominant in their day. I'm not going to get into the definition of "monopoly" here. But there's a reason for the "No one ever got fired for buying IBM" quote, and there's a reason that "Xerox" is/was basically synonymous with "photocopy". No one calls an Android device an "iPhone". Apple captures basically 100% of the market excitement and profit, but not sales or penetration. Apple is not dominant anywhere near what IBM and Xerox were. So, for me this fails the test of ~"sales and marketing running the company and not bringing forward great new products". Apple is still delivering. Apple is not all things to all people -- but no one is without choice. I think Apple, and Apple customers, are happy with Apple.
