I think so, but I also have no idea what I'm talking about.

I don't see what's so funny. I understand they've stood the test of the last 10 years or so with their massive growth experienced during that same time but I just have to believe no company can grow that fast and sustain that rate of growth for too much longer.

I'm sure iPads are already fairly involved in that industry.

Analysts have been saying this for 10 years.

I would say yes. I think their level of service has been gradually declining and I've been less satisfied with the directions they are heading w/their products.

For selfish reasons, I agree that they're growing too fast.

I buy iPhones and pretty much nothing else from Apple, and it seems like they're pushing iOS to the back burner on their mad dash to take over the world.

It's a fetish where you shoot Hotwheels out of your arse and try to get them all the way through the loop.

And this.

Apple's customer service and support used to be exceptional IMO. While I wouldn't call it bad, there's really nothing special about it nowadays (except for the return policy which is fantastic).

I think what they're trying to do might be a little dangerous. Most people buy Apple products becuase of the great user experience and even pay a premium for it. You can find quality tech hardware everywhere.

I don't think I want to know how/why your mind was able to construct that sentence.

Your question as phrased is stupid. CarPlay and Health Kit are a natural expansion of iOS. The alleged Apple Car project is the type of endeavor that could spread resources too thin and pull the company in a bad direction, or it could be the move that turns them into this century's General Electric that's so big and successful it's hard to say exactly what they do.

It's a 750 BILLION dollar company. You think a few research apps that tap into iOs is over reaching?

I don't understand the question. Growing too fast for what?

Growing too fast? They've been around since the inception of the industry, and they've been blowing up for almost 15 years. At this point, they still aren't anywhere near their critical mass.
