They have been WAY too redundant over the last few years.

I personally think that the powers that be killed jobs in order to completely cash out on the company and forgo innovation.

I agree with you.

most of these reservers are inflated stocks which will collpase

They could never keep on innovating like they used to. Tablets are on a rapid decline, Mobile market is saturated, PC market is declining slowly, IOT market has only begun so they need to start branching out to other technologies.

What makes you think that? Apple stock has never collapsed dramatically.  

The only apple products I ever brought was a 2002 ibook G4 and the original ipod nano. Great devices.

The ibook lasted me a great 3 years, even after a couple of serious drops, it held up incredible well, while my peers who purchased the 2003 era powerbooks, which would dent/spit in two/smash to pieces when dropped even slightly.

I never bothered with the iphone and from todays offerings, they seem a good year or two behind the likes of Samsung and HTC in the specs and software department.

I have no interest with them and can't wait for the fad to be dead.

Apple are like alpha romeo. Great looking cars with shit performance. Personally I go for great performance with decent looks. Hopefully they decline a bit because they need to innovate properly going forward. Although they pay fuck all tax so they'll be alright.

apple died from cancer.

Thats a low blow...

But yes... some people just ARE the company.
Bill Gates & Steve Jobs.

These are exceptional people, and loseing them hurts the companies.

I think Apple is loseing its "touch" or it-factor.

Alot of my circle that used to all be apple fanboys, have started going with other brands phones.

Samsung seems to be growing in popularity.

wasn't intended to be a low blow,.. just the truth that steve was apple.  current leadership clearly doesn't understand the core values that make apple successful in the first place.  in the short term pure momentum will move them forward but each little thing that gets announced i can see apple move closer and closer to being irrelavat.
