The theme of "Apple has lost their mojo" comes up pretty regularly. Notice that there are no facts to back up anything that the author feels about Apple.
Some facts:
- Apple just sold its 1 billionth iPhone, making it (by far) the best selling consumer electronics device ever
- last year's iPhone 6s beats the brand new Galaxy Note 7—even though the Galaxy has twice the number of processor cores (4) and double the amount of RAM (4 Gb) than the iPhone
- Apple does on the device what Google does in the cloud as far as AI and machine learning goes without compromising privacy.
And on the last conference call, Tim Cook stated that the switcher rate (customers going from Android to iPhone) has never been higher. I suspect when the iPhone 7 is announced on September 7, nobody will be concerned.
