Not an Apple fanboy but I have some perspective

1. Tablet sales are hitting a saturation point for higher priced tablets.
2. The watch is a gimmicky device that is not really necessary. Large segments of population has poor eyesight which make this a non-starter.
3. Chinese market is imploding and higher priced items by Apple are going to slide.

Actually packrat, I don't find anything FUD in your comments. I find something you and I could discuss, for example the fact that the Apple Watch has actually out sold the best selling product of all time, the iPad, in their first 90 days. That's not a "non-starter." However, I can agree with you about the eyesight problem. Same with the Chinese market slide. I even said that was why Apple reduced their Financial guidance for the next quarter. . . Because the can't know what is happening with China in chaos.

I do think you will see a jump in iPad sales soon. Enterprise sales and upgraders are about to move. The useful life of iPads is three to four years before people feel an urge to upgrade. That's my experience. It's stretched because a lot of iPad mini users moved to iPhone 6plus and are quite happy.
