amazon will get competition and retards will quit giving them $120 bucks a year for late deliveries and not so cheap products.
Amazon prime is garbage. i was getting 3-5 day delivery w/o it. Their movie/video/show selection is crap. I can get shite cheaper near me.
And i'm not a retard who needs to order a 12oz soda and carton of ice cream, pay $3-5 bucks+ for a hipster brand and wait 3 hours for it to be delivered, like some lazy arse.

Apple. Where's Steve jobs to save them again?

This has already happened and no one is close to taking Apple down.

Has this happened to Ferrari? Gucci? Rolex? Yeti lol? People have been saying this about Apple for years. There will always been the market for those willing to pay for high end. Apple has that over their comp right now.

Apple. They don’t really offer anything innovative. A new iPhone XXX that costs $2000 doesn’t mean shite in the tech world. Google is least likely to fail followed by Amazon then Microsoft.
ETA: I picked Apple to fail out of the options given. I do not think they will fail. They are imbedded in pop culture, and they keep up with the times. They aren’t going anywhere.

Google is going no where, they just made a deal to spy on Chinese people and turn them into government. They are locked in for a long time.

If Jobs were still around, I would agree that Apple could hold the luxury market by offering uniquely beautiful, timeless products like Ferrari or Rolex and get away with charging out the arse to survive as a business.
Jobs is dead. Apple hasn't had an original thought since his demise.
*I own all Apple phones, MacBook, AppleTv....I've been ready to dump them for Google as soon as Google puts out a higher-end phone.

You clearly have no idea the size and scope of Amazon. Like half the fricking internet runs on Amazon's platform.
Eta: Apple isn't going anywhere, but they are the easy pick here.

You guys realize that Apple is worth about 25% more than the other 3 right?
Current Market cap says that Microsoft is the largest.
1. Microsoft $723 billion
2. Apple $698 billion
3. Alphabet (Google) $685
4. Amazon $657 billion

I actually think it will be Amazon. They have been infiltrated by cheap Chinese Knock-offs and paid reviewers.
Plenty of other online vendors offer free shipping and comparable prices.

None. Apple and Amazon are two of the largest corps in the world by revenue. Google holds data that is worth untold amounts. Microsoft is such a cornerstone of the tech market, that I don’t think the market would let it fail, and if it started tanking, someone like Amazon would buy it up.

Anyone who thinks Amazon would be doesn't know that they hold the largest cloud service in the world with Amazon Web Services. Other internet services like Netflix runs on AWS. Even Apple's iCloud services run on both AWS and Microsoft Azure.
I would guess if any company that's likely to fail out of the four would most likely be Apple. The other three are far more diversified in services for both enterprise and consumers.
ETA: Apparently Apple is also moving some iCloud services to Google Cloud Platform.

Exactly. Anyone thinking Amazon is going down because people are going to eventually cancel their prime accounts has no clue what Amazon does.

Microsoft

Exactly. Take one of their services: Simple Storage Service or S3. It's big dumb object storage for storing massive amounts of data. It's so damn cheap it makes sense for a company that would have a massive amount of data like Netflix to take advantage of it. To build and maintain their own infrastructure to do the same thing at that scale would be prohibitively expensive.
Not everyone will go completely to the cloud but many businesses will use some sort of cloud service with their existing on-premises infrastructure. Microsoft, Amazon, and Google control about 80% of the public cloud space. With that kind of market control and the fact we'll all be using some sort of cloud service directly or indirectly, they're not going anywhere anytime soon.

Had this chat a week ago on here
Google - 20 years
Amazon - 24 years
Apple - 42 years
Microsoft - 43 years
Apple and MSFT are on another level above Amazon and Google. This is one of those you will not believe it if you look at market cap alone, however looking at the ability of taking over a void left by those companies if they vanished.
Walmart could absorb Amazon, Amazon could not absorb Walmart.
MSFT could absorb Google, Google cannot absorb MSFT.
------------------------------------------
Google does not have enough physical form to be safe. Every single offering they have could be replaced by another company in 3-6 months. That is how quick Google could disappear. Android phones are the only true roadblock. Everything else would have an easier migration path, because data is just data.
Same with Amazon. They are really great at what they do, but can be replaced by Walmart for Retail and Azure for AWS in less than a year. AWS would actually be the harder of the two because of corp contracts.
-----------------------------------
MSFT was outpacing Amazon in global purchasing of servers and I think just a year or two ago MSFT was the largest single buyer of servers in the world.
