Reasons Apple has peaked—for real, this time

This article is full on opinions, light on new information.

Horace, from Asymco, provided a [much better analysis](http://www.asymco.com/2012/10/29/the-iphone-and-apples-margi...) on why the recently announced lower margins are in line with Apple's historical performance during every product launch.

Also, you can get a better perspective by reading [previous comments on HN](http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4714473) of why Forstall and Browett leaving Apple is actually positive for the company.

You known when Apple will have peaked? A bit after the "Apple has peaked" headline meme will have run its course.

More rubbish designed to get page views.

The fact is that Apple has a 2013/2014 roadmap of incremental updates that could all continue to sell very well. Retina iPad Mini. Retina MacBook Airs. New Mac Pro. NFC/Passbook iPhone.

Not to mention that Johnny Ive's iOS 7 and OSX 11 could easily reinvigorate both platforms.

And then from the business side Apple is only just starting to tap into India/China both of which see the iPhone as a status brand ala Louis Vuitton. Expect major growth here.
