I don't want to be pessimistic, but making money by milking profits out of existing products while loosing market shares and not opening successful busines lines is exactly the sign of failing big companies. Blackberry was making profit until very late.

I see signs of decline on everything apple does, from failing products ( watch ), to failing software ( xcode, macos having the same network connectivity issues for years and not releasing anything new for years, ios still relying on decade old software stack and an aging cocoa framework).

The only true technological success i've seen from apple recently is what they're doing with swift, and it's maybe not a coincidence that it was aimed at being a cross platform, community driven technology.
