Another key aspect that sets Apple apart is vertical integration. Apple now produces a lot of the most complex components used in its own products. Apple silicon is very powerful and you can only get it if you buy Apple products. This took a huge investment of time and money and no other company is in the same position today. This is Cook's real legacy, in my opinion.
There is little growth in Asia without reducing cost of initial build and service. Asian are much more price sensitive and expect to be able to pay high in house costs that Apple charges.
I think Apple is an overvalued company, and in last 5-10 years there is no new product or major innovation that apple could launch like it used to when Steve jobs was alive. Its looks like it’s cashing on Steve jobs legacy.
That's an interesting view. It seems like there haven't been as many revolutionary innovations after Jobs. But still wearables, especially the apple watch was a quite big thing. There wasn't much smart watches before that. Fun fact: Steve Jobs didn't wear a watch because he wanted to live in the moment and not be reminded of the passing of time. However, the company he co-founded, Apple, later released the Apple Watch, a device that combines timekeeping with technology.
