Another reason I think they have more up their sleeve is for a few reasons.
Apple has one of the most disciplined R&D groups of any tech company, which is apparent from what they accomplished in the last 10 years. People give Steve too much credit; his team is responsible for much of the innovation he approved and refined.
Apple has tens of billions in cash. That's good for R&D and it's good for their future.
And finally, when Ive responds to a question about future products with, "I would love, love, love to show you what we are working on now, but I'd lose my job," I kinda have to believe him.
- they are working on the iwatchdbloc
- i'm sure they're working on a lot of things, that's what companies with their history and cash domonospaced

- They seem to take ideas and make them well enough that people actually want to use themmonospaced
- they made the first GOOD touch phone, tablet, mp3 player, music store ... but they didn't invent the conceptsmonospaced
- ironically, after Apple finally does them right, it's the other companies that steal the design and interfacesmonospaced
- just not true. there were other good mp3 players - but just not packaged/branded right - thats their genius.fadein11
- if you think the only reason they are successful is packaging, then we are done discussing seriouslymonospaced
- it's not like good branding/packaging would have saved the "originals"monospaced
- eh? packaging was not in reference to the box... i meant the whole package - the brand.fadein11
