I'm not sure I'd begin writing Apple's epitaph *quite* yet. They remain an innovative bunch, with scads of free capital with which to tinker and explore. The iphone7 might be humdrum, but that says more about current market expectations that each device will wow in awesome ways. The cell phone market has fallen flat everywhere now - anyone who wants a device has one, and it's not easy to get current owners of a $600 device to turn it in for a newer model. My own 2014-era device is doing just fine, thank you and I haven't found a compelling reason to upgrade — most likely I'll keep onto it until I accidentally damage it. If nothing else, Apple is keeping the tech press busy all the time with rampant speculation, disappointment, and punditry.
