Convention dictates that the Apple bubble will burst soon.
Probably means that now that Jobs is gone the appeal will start to dwindle which might very well be true.

I think while one is really tempted to engage this particular discussion, it is quite disheartening that you present a viewpoint and simply refrain from substantiating it with facts, quotes, stories or anything 'meaty'.
Is the intention to discuss your posit or are you merely gossiping? In which case I wouldn't be interested. If I want gossip, I'll go to news24.

It's in the rough waters that you quickly notice the presence or absence of the ship's captain. Who is at SA's helm?
Right, we'll talk after the new iPhone, new iPad mini and this upcoming holiday quarter.
Much as I love my Apple products, the OP is more or less correct - no company stays at the top forever, globally and within their field. What is questionable is the "soon" bit - that would have to be backed up with reports, etc. which the OP failed to do.
Apple's dominance/growth over the last few years came about as a result of innovation, not invention; the innovation has slowed noticeably. I'm not saying there hasn't been any innovation lately, but it isn't anything jaw dropping either. Their software/apps have also been less than impressive - their newly released podcast app is as basic as they come; iTunes (which was never that impressive to start with) has become clunky and in sore need of a major update/refresh; and their management of the app store....
Recent article in BGR.
It's an easy prediction to say Apple will fail eventually. All empires fall eventually. However I personally I don't think that they have reached their peak yet, not nearly. Met people don't have an iPhone or iPad. There is a huge market out there still waiting for them.
Soon we will have a new iPhone, for which there is tremendous pent-up demand. Historically every model of iPhone has seen a doubling of sales. There is also good evidence they a looking to sell the iPhone 3GS very cheaply in a play for the cell phone mass market. Same fir the new mini iPad which should sell for $200-250.
Apple share price has rocketed over recent times and most of it is due to hype rather than market performance. Anybody remember the .com bubble?
+1. What is the point of this thread?

It's due to market performance. In fact it's still lagging Apple's rather spectacular market performance.
My predication for the coming 12 months for Apple. Putting it out there
So what is your predication(sic)? That the Apple 'bubble' will burst? Substance, come on, learn how to frame an argument man.

I used to be rather ambivalent about Apple until the patent wars began, and they went from the sublime to the ridiculous. I now cannot stand the company and their values and I don't think I am alone with this changed perception. Their ability to expand their market share is not only at an organic bursting point but they have drawn a line in the sand for the consumer - you're either with us or against us, and this will severely hamper their abilities to not only increase market share, but to maintain it. Without another revolutionary product, Apple are going to struggle in the coming years, from a market share perspective at least...
