          This article adds another hole in Apple's sinking ship. Even Apple stock continue to sink since Sept. 2012 from $700/share down to $400/share.
          This is probably one of the reasons why IOS developers are also
          abandoning the sinking Apple mothership.

          Finally, Apple is now tasting their own bitter fruit.

            They will soon join the likes of Nokia and BlackBerry. The culprit? Its the lack of innovation with Idevices, iphone playing catch up with the competition, the relentless litigations and ridiculous patent trolling.

                            [deleted post]Android is certainly the more flexible OS as well as more reliable when updates come out.

                            Apple is having serious quality and development problems since Jobs passed.

                            Now you have the pastel pink and purple iOS 7 in light blue, green, yellow and pink.

                            Lets call it the Barbie iPhone series. All it's missing is a hello kitty cover.

                            I cant see any guy with an ounce of sense buying one for use in the office. It will be a hit with teenage girls though.

                              Problem Apple has is they are growing slower than Samsung, Huewai, ZTE, etc. which why Android dominates iOS in China. try reading articles that have more than the pretty lines and pictures that you don't quite understand.

                              Should I post up your link again as a reminder?
