Indeed you are right...
apple's share price is spectacularly falling. the apple lovers have this guy that they hope has now disappeared off the org chart to work on the top secret new apple device... thats how desperate the apple lovers are for the next big thing.
I have an apple iphone. I like it. I got it free on a bill deal. I would not buy their stuff cos its over priced and ties you in a straight jacket.
they really are love/hate like marmite.
It was an amazing run. the ipod propelled them from ok your compeuter on the desk with all the stuff in the screen is nice to the huge thing, then all they did was milk it down. where the ipod now? great device lost in a sea of apple products? Kid love the thing cos they can get Fb on it for a cheap price but now my kids have smart phones and the ipods they got 2 years ago are kind of also rans. you can get a really good smart phone with goole andriod on it for 100 quid 200 max. ipods are dead.
mac book air is lovely, really lovely but god the price. can't be going and doing it.
I pad is really expensive but also nice. I can't help but think tablets and laptops will merge into one device in the next 5 years. tabelts are too limited. I watch football on my iphone. its fine!
apple are looking at wearable technology, a watch.... eh... i have my phone why would i want a device competing with rolex for premium custom? google the glasses... may be that apples thing.
TVs... samsung have it sewn up plus the margin is tiny.
in short apply are the next victim of corporate america... must beat projects, must grow grow grow... don't and you are punished harshly.
anyway.... you are right, where i used to work they gave the bean counter the operations manager position then put him as director of Hr as a pay off he was that bad... near ruined the place... american bean counters are all short termists... next 3 months, next quart. half year.. full year... don't invest, can i avoid.... bean counters should be kept in a closet and only allowed out for one meeting a month at most.
Let the engineers make great products... let the marketing guys **** up the channel and selling and set a high price... quids in.
The top gear (god i know) last episode where they had one example of every vehicle built in Britain on the mall showed the country still has innovators. I'd Love to see my company invest but the last time they whines so much about the money and i spent it all with a german company and installed it in the US. they whined about a 3 month payback to me this year... 3 months! WTF... why even bother eh?

it's not innovation as such, essentially the docking station concept has been adapted.
