They're playing catch up with Android.
Face it, when Jobs died, so did Apple.
Spoken like a true tard.
Apple doesn't "catch up" with anyone. The rest of them are trying to keep up. Apple isn't after marketshare. Their business doesn't depend on your personal information to make a profit.
Integrated solutions will ALWAYS dominate their fragmented counterparts. The sublime experience and polish reflects that.
Apple was around way before Google and the Internet. It's not strictly a Internet/software company. They have MANY disciplines under their roof and the trick is to cross-connect them to craft one remarkable product. That's how the bavarians have built an industrial empire.
Apple doesn't sell computers. They sell dreams.
One thing you and everyone on the planet has to understand is that you engineer a solid product from TOUCH to CORE. Focus on anything less, or the reverse, and you end up with moldy swiss cheese.
And just like any dominating economy, the brightest minds and talent flock to it.
