I think at this point the mobile hard- and software industry is simply much further developed and it's harder for everyone to innovate, not just for Apple. We can't expect that magic of 2007 to come back on a year to year basis. That said Apples products continue to be very solid. For me personally, MacBook Pros are in amazing state right now and OSX feels and looks great on high-dpi displays.

While I agree with the gist of what you've said, MacBook Pros are the one area that definitely DO feel stale to me. I think this article says it pretty well: http://www.forbes.com/sites/brookecrothers/2016/10/16/how-di... .

For a long period no other laptop manufacturer could top Apple when it came to build quality and durability. The MacBook Pros have definitely fallen behind in the past 4 years. I'm really looking forward to the rumored refresh at the end of the month.

I'm writing this on my late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina 13", which has become practically an extension of my body. It's lightweight, fast (SSD and decent CPU), and has decent WiFi. But most importantly, I can read text all day long without my myopic, presbyopic eyes bugging out. Thank you, Tim Cook and all the others responsible for this machine. (Oh, and I'm quite happy with its solid aluminum body.)
