Apple didn't learn from their mistake in the 80's. They almost went under by trying to keep all the hardware and software under one roof. IBM liscensed out the PC architecture and Microsoft provided the OS. Now, its the same damn thing with the phones. Google comes out with the design and OS, just licensing it out to many companies. It promotes a competitive market and actually works for the end customer, making companies improve based on customer desires while maintaining affordability. Cell phone providers are losing money on the iPhones, and Androids are cheaper, just as fast, and have MANY more possiblities. Apple is going to die. Again. Bite the bullet and go Android.
