Really? Most successful?

Just because they've had a good 7-8 years of great sales and earning, and a huge market cap, does not make them the 'most successful' in history. History in business is about more than 5 or 10 years. Let's see what happens when the iPhone mania dies down, and people realize that they don't need to upgrade their iPhones every year or two.

BTW, Microsoft had a larger market cap at one time than Apple has now, if you were to consider inflation. Microsoft market cap.

"On Dec. 27, 1999 Microsoft’s valuation hit an all-time record of more than $613 billion. In today’s dollars that would be more than $873 billion."
