Apple's stubborn refusal to make a cheap iPhone resulted in its biggest sales decline in 3 years

The fact is that apple raised the standards so much that there there aren’t anymore standards left to raise now. Sure, Huawei and Samsung aren’t amazing innovators, however there isn’t anything to innovate anymore. Smartphones in their current form are here to stay.

Apple isn’t very good at competing in a fully developed market. Look at Apple in the 90s after the PC market blew up. They nearly folded because they had a reluctance to run windows. Unless they keep finding really good reasons for people to keep IOS people are going to want to move to android. And with that Apple in a few years is going to be in the same position they were in the 90s.

I agree they have a lot of competition now. That being said, Apple does have a unique way of catering to non-technical users.

That may turn out to be true. Apple needed people like Jobs who are true innovators. Tim Cook is no innovator - he is just a corporate shill.
