Apple is a fad and luxury brands are collapsing left and right. I read about two near bankrupt European luxury brands just the other day. So far Apple is defying the laws of gravity but that doesn’t last forever

A fad... 33 years a fad... 25 years a Macintosh Fad... 8 years an iPod fad... 8 years an OSX fad... two years an iPhone fad...

This is where your predictions fail, Dennis. Apple is NOT a fad nor is it a luxury brand. Apple provides value and functionality, and most of all, usability for the money they charge for their products.

Beretta would disagree with you. Their “fad” products have been produced since *1526*.

Some things aren’t fads.
