The following are quotes from the article this ping is about, showing how analysts over the years have been completely wrong in their predictions about Apple.

I’ve s always wondered if Apple would be able to come up with “the next big thing” post-Jobs. Not sure whether the watch was a hit or a miss, but the time is coming when the jury will start to deliberate. I hope they do, as Apple has been a thought-leader and stimulus for other innovations.

I’m all-in for Apple.

But Steve Jobs is gone. In his place is a very messed up guy.

Precarious situation with Apple.

Which is sad. Since I have 2 iPhones, several iPads, several iPad minis, an Apple TV, an Apple Mini, multiple PowerMacs, a PowerBook, iCloud membership, Music membership, and so on. Like I said, I’ve been all-in.
