If you've got $100bn+ in the bank - most of which has come from iPhone and iPad sales - it's a pretty good indication that your sales strategy is being reasonably successful, to my mind. Certainly no company can afford to rest on its laurels, but I don't think Apple have too much reason to change what they are currently doing.
