"Death spiral" is definitely taking it a bit far, but it's pretty clear that Apple has lost its mojo since Steve left. Hell, the recent phone "upgrades" were boring enough that no one even started a thread about it.

I was going to, but I know the kind of hate Apple gets around here, so there's no real reason to even post anything. Apple could cure cancer, and AustinChief would have the first post in the thread going "Stay away. Android's cancer cure is right around the corner and is going to blow away Apple's."

There's just no point.

Death spiral isn't taking it too far at all. I am not saying that they can't save themselves but RIGHT NOW they are bleeding market share and mind space at a record pace.

I have no problem with them losing market share but I am worried that they have simply stopped innovating. That doesn't bode well for anyone.

Interesting read. It really is amazing how fall they've fallen behind in the global market. This chart is mindblowing:



I don't really see how they can make much headway outside of the U.S. at this point without some MAJOR strategy changes.

Same thing happened with Apple with the PC market in the late 80s-early 90s... You'd think they would learn.

I would totally buy a 5.5 inch iPhone. Android always seems to get glitchy after a few months of use...
