8. Apple peaked 3 years ago

There has been nothing innovative from then since the original Iphone. Everything since then has been basic predictable upgrades.

I cant really fault them for it except for the fact that the company apparently learned nothing from their competition with Microsoft back years ago. They simply can not compete against an operating system that opens itself to everyone for innovation.
Android now owns something in the range of 67% of the mobile market. Apple sits around 16%. They are still making butloads of profit but I dont see that continuing for much longer with things like the new nexus7 tablet being offered at $200 people are not going to pay $500 for a tablet for much longer.
