Years ago when Steve was in charge their portfolio was more than just a damned phone. I think you need a lesson in tech failure and overreliance on a single product.

If you’re so arrogant, invest in Apple and keep you stocks until 2020. Go ahead. Prove me wrong.

They had a phone, a portable music player, and computers.

Now they have a phone, they dominate tablet sales (a market they essentially created), they have the watch, they are the #3 seller of personal computers in the US, and the #1 seller of high-end ($1000 or more) laptops. Somewhere along the line, they've sold millions of Apple TV units as just a "hobby".

Apple has always been about having a relatively small number of products, but making those products very well. What would you have them expand their portfolio to?

More than a phone? Lets see - MacBook Pros still selling very well.

MacPros, the cream-of-the crop - still selling.

New MacBooks - even with the idiocy of a single port for EVERYTHING... selling.

iPads - selling like hotcakes (just bought one myself, after having my fill of Android update HELL).

iPods (personally don’t see the need with an iPhone).

Wildly successful iTunes store for apps, music, movies, etc. Check

So - where’s the limited product line?
