Don't get me wrong, Apple isn't going to collapse next week or next year. But just making a profit isn't good enough. Neither is increasing sales when you are losing market share. Ask RIM about that. I think Apple has peaked and is on the downturn. How far down they go will depend a lot on what they release over the next year. And with their cash reserves they would have to be completely inept to go down as far as RIM has. I don't see that happening.
