Does anyone else think Apple will become the next BlackBerry?
6-7 months Apple appeared invincible, with confidence in its ability to deliver a standout product at an all time high. Stock price peaking around over $700/share. Fast forward after the release of the iPhone 5, iPad mini and a slew of others and the overall feeling has never been different. The confidence that Apple is a sector leader by a large degree is gone, trust in its ability to innovate and deliver a standout product is also gone. Don't get me wrong Apple is still immensely a strong company with many users and strong demand, but I feel like this is reminiscent to BlackBerry of 2007-2008, resting on its laurels. The confidence that it is the best and must have is no longer here, the magic is gone. The competition is getting more fierce everyday (Z10, Galaxy S4, Xperia Z) and it feels as if the next iPhone couldn't come fast enough.
So do you guys think Apple is teetering on the edge at the moment similar to Blackberry 2007-2008? Not in terms of bankruptcy or becoming irrelevant (That would be insane) but in terms of losing out on its title as the coolest, most innovative company producing the best electronics in the public eye.
