I think the loss of market share came before the lack of quality. I remember when the original Mac came out, it was a very impressive device, but the price was outrageous compared to a PC compatible. It wasn't until Windows 95 came out that PC caught up, and if my memory serves me right, PC was already dominating the market. At the time I thought that the lack of quality of the Mac was an offshoot from the lack of market share, but having read a number of books lately on that era, I think it was more a lack of Steve Jobs that was the problem. It will be interesting to see what happens now, because again they don't have Jobs, but the current team are in my opinion far more on top of things than the management team in the 90's. OSX is also on a much firmer footing than the old Mac OS, particularly because of the Unix roots. iOS I'm not sure about. I think they have made a number of compromises and sacrifices in order to make the phone run quicker and be more "simple", but I think it is falling behind Android. I also think that their reliance on marketing Retina DPI along with having s fixed resolution is getting them into trouble.
