A research study on teens and their interest in tech have come out with a conclusion that Apple has lost its position as most wanted tech. There is an opinion that Apple has not kept up technology wise with people like Samsung or even Microsoft. Most students like the lappy design of the new Surface tablet and Galaxy Nexus phone. They are not at all impressed by the iPhone 5 and would rather use a new Android phone.
It seems that Gen X's still love Apple products but are losing out to Android and some Microsoft designed products with teens today. No matter what people think of Microsoft it seems their new stuff has started to peak peoples interest. Pretty much everyone has surpassed Apple's products with performance and features. It looks more and more like Apple's on a me too technology route and has not kept up feature wise. Teens recognize this but Gen X's seem to prefer the simplification of the Apple approach.
My answers to Apples problems not that they will listen LOL.
They need a hardware engineering company yes they can do it themselves but they need it sooner not later. I find their new CPU's are not competing with the new Snapdragon or Samsung Exynos 5 Octa that pairs 4 Cortex-A15 and 4 Cortex-A7 on the same chip. The idea is to switch the Cortex-A15 on an off and only used for heavy lifting the Cortex-A7 does most of the regular work to save power. This new Samsung chip is faster and far more powerful then anything in Apples pipeline.

Software Apple needs to go back to the drawing board and revise their interface meaning complete change. They need to get back to the leadership point. They need to look at tech like gesture recognition and facial recognition. They need to look at making a 3 dimensional interface where gestures would allow the interface to work in 3 dimensions. They need to be able to look at the interface from 3 dimensions not just one.
Apple has the resources to get back to the top of the food chain but they need to move. Its not like they are not still the most popular product but sales are slowing and they need to change their plans. Not that everything is bad but they are looking long in the tooth.
