I'd argue their willingness to cannibalize their exisiting products is exactly why they are doing so well. The product that finally killed the iPod was the iPhone.
- wmeredith 14y agoActually it was the iPod Mini that killed the iPod. Then the Nano killed the Mini. Then the iPhone killed the entire line. So, the spirit of your statement is right on the money. This is Apples truth strength. Their lack of complacency. The iPad Mini will eat the iPad. I would nearly guarantee that's the whole idea.
