Then they should not release a mini until next year.
Precarious in the long view. The height of success is when companies start making mistakes. Oops, Apple Maps was one such mistake (overblown, for sure, but definitely tarnished their public image and has current non-iPhone users hesitating to jump in). Also, I've seen numerous articles questioning whether Apple has run out of creative steam with no Jobs at the helm. The revolutionary TV Jobs has talked about seems to have been abandoned, and there is no indication that Apple is going to bring about any truly innovative products anytime soon, but merely keep incrementally upgrading their existing lines. That can't last. The Apple I know would come up with something truly revolutionary every 2 or 3 years and I just don't see that happening without a visionary like Jobs having sparks of inspiration. There's a point coming soon where even those of us who are iOS devotees will get bored with incremental updates and start checking out what other companies are doing. Speaking of which, every other tech company is chomping at their heels. The MS Surface may look crappy to Apple-philes but it will be damn compelling to the business community and higher-end public. Many many people love Android and are snapping up those tablets like crazy. Apple also seems to be neglecting their higher-end computers. Cook may be a brilliant businessman, but they need an artist to go in there and shake things up a bit.
