From the article:
75 percent of smartphones out there are Android phones, and only
15 percent are iPhones.
For the first time ever, iPhone customer loyalty is declining.
Scott Forstall was suddenly booted from the company. He was the
creator of iOS, Apple's most prolific inventor, and a former "CEO-in-
waiting."
Apple whiffed on iPad sales during its fiscal fourth quarter.
Recent "refresh" of all big products has left them looking at 6 to 9
months of dead time.
After hiring John Browett as Apple's new retail boss ~6 months ago,
Tim Cook fired him.
Since that post, IDC reported Apple's share of the tablet market dropped from 59.7% to 50.4% during the third quarter. Looking forward, there are big concerns about margin pressure because the iPhone 5 is brand new and the iPad Mini is much less profitable than the bigger version.
And of course, Apple alienated everyone by dropping Google and putting its inferior mapping technology on the iPhone 5, as well as forcing its loyal customers to switch to the Lightning adapter. Meanwhile, myriad stories have been written about how the fear of higher capital gains taxes is prompting investors to dump the stock.
