Its the same across the industry, most of everything useful have been done. Sales will be harder to get. Great new features sell phones, but when its minor, thats hard to get consumers to part with cash for so little difference beween last years and this years

iPad is the same. It seems like yesterday it had a 75% market share, now its 25%. Read an article that suggested the Pro was a sales failure. I recall iPad sales dropped by 25% in the Pro sales period. Great device, but a bit too niche and a bit too expensive? The 9.7 iPad gives us Pro features at a smaller form factor, and the fact that it gave BIG features that the Pro 12 doesnt have is significant. If Pro price was just too much, or the screen too big, the 9.7 Pro is a great device, I want one.

So it seems to me. Sad, because Apple once meant innovation and sparkle.

It's probably grown too big to be much besides same-old and safe. Maybe Steve Jobs got out just in time. Or maybe he could have kept the creativity pot boiling. I'd like to think that.
