Is the Apple ship in trouble? Let's look at the series of lately events here for a minute:

1. iOS6 is released and doesn't impress anybody.
2. Apple Maps is a huge failure. Doesn't work properly.
3. Scott Forstall and 2 other executives get fired.
4. Bob Mansfield cashes his $20 million Apple stock and decides to "retire".
5. Now, Eddie Cue decides to sell his $8.8 million in Apple stock. "Retirement" next?

I don't know about you guys, but it seems to be the Apple Starship isn't doing very well. Ever since its captain died, nothing's been the same. Something is wrong at Apple.

What do you think?

Given the popularity of the iPhone, the unwavering zealots, and the ridiculous patent lawsuit windfalls, I highly doubt Apple is going anywhere any time soon.

We used to Apple used to have a distortion field, it now seems Microsoft fanboys have one about Apple. Yes the share price will come down until it reaches a true valuation of the company. But marketshare, revenue and profit are all still rising in almost every area so yeh they really are sinking aren't they...

When the first iPhone came out.. It was a HUGE step forward.. I love it.. I had all of them expect the iPhone 5.. The iPhone was more stable and more supported than Android..


Years later.. Android becomes very stable, well supported, TONS of features, IMPROVES their product.. iPhone left in the dust.. Even some of the iSheep are seeing it..

Macbook Pro - Awesome Laptop --> Discontinues 17" version, Makes 15" with integrated ram and hard to upgrade the hard drive..

iPad.. Same damn thing it was when they first released it..

Apple trying to sue everyone..

They have gone way down hill.. I really wish they would make their next iPhone with a ton of features, less strict on the App Store,

Don't get me wrong. I am no Android or Microsoft fanboy. I have 2 PCs, an iMac, an iPad and an Android phone but the truth is the truth. Apple has internal troubles and something is not right.

I am looking, a massive year on year boost in shipments and an increase in market share, Android is gaining at the expense of others.

Not in my life time will Apple come falling down. At present they are to big and money rich. Beside with the ability to now sell their products (iPhone) in both India and China (more people than almost all the other countries on planet earth) they are looking at the possilility of increasing their sales by as much as 25 to 50 % in the smartphone market.

No they aren't coming apart at the seems as of yet. . .

Yes...But it is gaining and that's the point. Whether its gaining at the expense of others or not, the point is it is gaining and Apple is falling behind.

The shares at a high price so why not cash them in.

That IS how you make money.

^^^Perhaps It seems like they're not coming apart at the seams!!

They need to get into the innovation wagon again. Google keeps making Android better and better while iOS is still stuck. It's time to make changes to that OS.

I don't see them falling at all.. But I do see a big change in market share..

Apple isn't going anywhere, but there hayday is coming to an end. Soon I can see them fading into a blurry landscape of everything else. I think the apple fanboy ride will always stay about the same, while the perception of the company will fault.

You must have missed the 90s

I'm guessing that the new os that may probably replace windows will be android...
