I have heard a lot of bad news about apple corp lately: 1) Sales of the new IPhone are down by a considerable amount; 2) Apple is no longer considered to be "cool" among teenage customers; 3) Tablets, a market that was at one time an apple market has become increasingly non-apple. While I do understand that these news reports represent short term problems for apple corp and are in no way indicative of what the future may hold, I would still like to see what apple fans think of the recent news and what the future may hold for apple corp. For myself it would not be a good idea for the computer industry as a whole for one of its leaders (apple) to have sever financial problems. Like apple or not the company tends to be an industry leader and points the direction for the overall market.
