Here's the link to the thread
My forecast is this: Apple is overpriced compared to Android, and doesn't offer enough value in return. Because of this, their market edge is evaporating. Apple's main advantage is that it is the choice for people who don't know much, the same as AOL was the beginners' choice to get online in the early days of the internet. The word is spreading fast that Apple products are overpriced, and that Android works fine. I've seen nothing to indicate that Tim Cook & Company will blaze any breathtaking trails in the future. Sheer momentum will continue to attract well-heeled non-price-sensitive customers to Apple (such as big corporations, rich yuppies, and those hungry for the hip factor) for some time to come -- but, eventually, that momentum will peter out. You can cash in on cachet for just so long. Sooner or later, you have to deliver an edge. Verdict: Apple has seen its day in the sun.
