One response to “Business model prisoners”

  1. Interesting thoughts. When the media bemoans “OMG Apple’s profit is down 2 billion” (yet their revenue is up) … there’s a neglect on longer term user trends. Imagine the scenario where a new smartphone adopter first buys a Samsung for cost reasons — there’s a likelihood they would “graduate” to an iPhone in a couple of years if the iPhone remains “desirable”. And I think the game changer is really what “desirable” means for these devices in coming years and whether Apple can keep it up.
