Apple: An Antidote to iPhone Complacency [View article]
I think the responses to "If Apple just stands still while competitors catch up" has to be put in context-Your context is Apple didn't innovate 15 years ago, and lost their lead.
Today's context seems quite different. The Apple of yesterday would never have replaced a good selling iPod (the Mini) with the Nano. The Apple of yesterday would never have pushed the chip industry to develop a custom chip for a new notebook (The MacBook Air).
That is why some people read your article with askance-your "long storied Apple history" doesn't help clarify anything. Rather, it makes you seem a bit out of touch with today's Apple.
Could history repeat itself? Sure. Have we been given any indication today's Apple is acting like yesterday's Apple that lost the lead, much less like how Motorola lost their cellphone dominance by relying on the RAZR for too long?
