PA-PLAYA I agree, sales world wide are going down dramatically, however. It’s all preference, but the iPhone appears to have peaked and is on the downside of life (however great that still may be). It’s probably not going the way of components, but’s it’s not going to last. Also, hold it for now, but don’t be shocked when that Apple stock crashes (again). Nothing is too big to fail. Unfortunately, Aplenhas chosen to rest on its laurels and like all hogs, it will be slaughtered.
The iPhone in and of itself is fine, it’s just not a leader in anything anymore. For basic operation, even now fairly well ingrained in business, it’s fine, but it’s hitting the same wall the original Apple computer did. Some will like it, it will have market share, others will move on and those that “stole” their idea will run the market while they bitch about it.
I’m not disparaging the actual phones, I don’t care for the interface, but the company as a whole is in trouble. Thankfully, we no longer teach history, so they’re ride will be longer.
