Re: [iPad] New Mini and iPad--When?

 

But what would niche-dom provide for you?  Seems to me, and correct me if I am wrong, that its an emotional need. Niche means generally smaller. A lower market share on iPhone users takes it away from mainstream, which is what you wish, and also less of interest to devs.

Macs are a niche. Very cool, but a very low market share, but here to stay. Smartphones are now not that special or that cool, they are consumables. They serve a need, everyone has one, sorta. If a brand became a low market share niche, that to me means it has failed in the market. As smartphones are common and consumable items.

But here's to hoping they go back to niche-dom

I'm not sure I see Apple phones or tablets as niche. Not anymore. They are one of the 3 main platforms. Macs are still niche I feel, a low market share but entrenched in teh market

Peculiar definition of "niche".
Did you get that from Steve "Uncle Fester" Ballmer?

> It's not like cameras or optics or audio, where there are clearly defined high-quality brands - Leica, Leitz, Linn, et al.

It's not?
