I'm saying Apple has amply demonstrated a business model others can apply, and it's not like Apple singularly invented this model. They just borrowed from other companies like Nikon, Canon, BMW and others, adapting and perfecting it for the business they operate in.

There's a lot of other industries that need an Apple and don't have one. Who is the Apple of toilets? Of mattresses? Of 3D printers? Of blenders?

Some have leaders that succeed not based on having a superior product, but by their crushing marketing pressure and omnipresent retail representation. They're ripe for disruption.
