Not sure Apple needs "saving", but:
That was what Scully did.
Didn't work then, won't work now.
Apple doesn't run well with the crowd. And if it should happen the crowd is following them, they need to go elsewhere.
Right now I'm amused by all the rumors of a plastic-bodied "cheap" iPhone coming at the same time Samsung is looking to maybe do the Galaxy S5 as a premium metal-bodied phone.

Apple's much vaunted "innovation" has more often than not been mere differentiation which, in business terms, is a *necessity* not an option. Apple's litigiousness is merely a reflection of their need to be different and the moneychangers' obsession with "the next insanely great thing" is a reflection of the unstated understanding that if Apple *isn't* somehow different, they're not really all that special. (And their stock shouldn't be treated as such.)
"If everybody is special.... then, nobody is".
