Nobody else has the volume to match their hardware play.
All the reports to date are that everybody but Amazon has seen disappointing sales and has ended up running fire sales to clear inventory.
Which is why I say that Apple is in no danger of hurting at all.
Like their products or not they will do just fine, even without the reality distortion zone.
I see no reason to question their ability to survive.

Nobody is questioning their ability to survive, lol. We are questioning their ability to continue to dominate. They are at the point that Microsoft was about 1 year after the launch of Windows 95. And I see Apple slowly declining, to be surpassed by the next high roller in a few years. Without Jobs, Apple won't be able to keep up the pace. They have already started to slow down with product launch cycles and show a lack of new ideas.
