Yeah, I would have to agree that I if I owned Apple shares I would be looking at softening my position with them.   I guess I recall Apple from the days when Steve Jobs was booted and just how awful their products were for many years - they looked nice, but they constantly crashed and were full of buggy OS and software BAH!.  It seems not many folks recall those days.  Once Jobs came back, Apple took off and all was forgiven again.

Steve Jobs was exceptional, the iPod and original iPhone were transformation devices but now he has gone, the competition has caught up (and indeed probably exceeded the iPhone) I am seriously doubtful that Apple will continue their mega growth.  Transformational devices and ideas are rare.  iPhone 5 is largely a disappointment for many consumers I feel.

The other issue is Apple products used to be a bit exclusive, but now your mum, Nanna and little sister has one perhaps that influence is waning.

Apple may pull something amazing out of the bag yet (Apple TV anyone?) - but I know they have also annoyed the crap out of a lot of existing customers by changing the port size, insisting on using proprietary cables, charging $35 a piece for a $0.50 adaptor, releasing a new phone that is still too small and stuffing up their mapping app.

My wife just got a Galaxy SIII and (in my opinion anyway) it is superior to the new iPhone 5 in every way.  Of course - your mileage will vary.

Cheers
Darryl.

I guess you would really have to know what that color stuff was about, because I did not find it anywhere near as funny as the Samsung Gallaxy S3 ads, with the apple lines. Man, that one TOTALLY resonated with me, it was tremendously funny. Especially the guys holding other people's places in line for a product they themselves wouldn't use.

Apple is dead, the masses are going to realize that some day. They closed themselves off to improvement from anywhere except within their own ranks, and you just can't stay on top that way.

Bye Bye Apple.
