I was driving by Apple headquarters a few days ago and saw some tourists taking pictures by the Apple sign in the parking lot
With no highly innovative product since the mid 2000's along with their products no longer being an exclusive product I do not doubt they are going by the wayside. When it comes to the iPhone I've known plenty of people who when they really look at it see the iPhone as a very inferior product.
Also mobile music technology is on the back end of the product life cycle so they are not getting that money. The iPhone kind of cannibalized the iPod product.
The iPhone was the first real smart phone circa 2007-2008 and everyone else was a year behind. The iPad was the first real tablet computer 2010 and everyone else was a year behind. It's safe to assume apple tv will do what Netflix and amazon and hulu aren't, let you really use the internet on your tv.
It's next to irrelevant to a half-trillion dollar company what a niche is making faddish for six months in 2013. Apple is an international brand and only scratching the surface of new consumers of every age. I think the same poll showed more kids were using tumblr than facebook, facebook stock is rallying because facebook isn't a fad, it's for everyone.
