Apple began its decline the instant Steve Jobs went on sick leave. The sorry OS X Lion was the harbinger. From there, it has been one thing after another - FCP X, dongle-gate, rose gold, abandonment of the 4 quadrant system, flat design, yearly release schedule (and associated bugs), touch bar, no Mac Pro, then trash can Mac Pro... so many more. The business press, and average consumer, hardly noticed the dip in product design. Apple raked in more money than ever, and had plenty of reputation to burn. Apple today is like a once-great movie studio that lives off sequels. But Apple still has genius when it comes to fixing supply chain problems. They'll pull through this downturn. Even with the Trump tariffs, they'll be fine.
