I could resonate well with the Title of the article because I share the same sentiment - that with every apple announcement, people expect something that will blow their minds off. The article went on to do a comparison of revolutionary product-release timelines, failures, and stock volatility under Jobs and Cook followed by the market not being happy with Apple and so on, but I was hoping it would highlight the core reason behind the disruption of the iphone/ipad and why Apple is unlikely to meet the market's expectations.
Now, this is only an opinion, but I strongly feel that the core behind the disruptions were the technologies (or combination thereof) we know as capacitative touch-screen, multi-touch, accelerometer, and gyroscope (i'm sure i missed something). In fact, I should further point out that it is not merely the use of such technologies but rather the perfection of these technologies that allowed Apple to use them and create a user experience that would amaze the world, followed by developers using the perfected technologies to create even more delightful experiences.
Now, going back to the Title of the article that caught my eye in the fist place, while it is realistic for people to expect enhancements of hardware, new design, new software, etc. from Apple, it is unrealistic to expect Apple to release revolutionary products every year, simply because the core technologies don't follow a 1-year introduction cycle. This is something the market just doesn't understand.
I do believe that there are new core technologies in Apple's pipeline which are waiting to mature into perfection, but for now, we have to be content with Apple maximizing user experience with what they have.
