Comment Apple asleep not to realize smartphone saturation (Score 1) 222

Apple should have seen this coming a mile away and could have stopped depending on iPhone sales to carry to company. With the amount of cash Apple had to spend over the last five years, they could have found some other businesses to offset a rapid decrease in iPhone sales. They could have gone into some cloud business as most major tech companies did or they should have gone into a video and audio streaming content business like Amazon and Alphabet did. Now, Apple is mainly stuck with a one-trick iPhone pony show, at least as far as Wall Street is concerned. Apple supposedly has a lot of data centers and I have no idea what Apple is using them for. At least the other major tech companies are using their data centers to bring in revenue by supporting services for other companies. Apple didn't even partner with other companies for undersea data cables and I haven't heard any deals with broadband satellite companies. It seems as though all consumers want now in the way of smartphones is cheap $150 Android smartphones because most consumers are too poor to buy anything more expensive. Places like India, Africa and South America sure don't want to be bothered with expensive smartphones when they have no actual need for them. Apple should have realized this day was coming when smartphone sales would come to nearly a halt as the world fills up with consumers needing smartphones every year. Once India gets saturated with smartphones, that's all there is and there's nothing left but even poorer nations with less population. Apple better find some new products or services or some completely new business to take over decreasing iPhone sales.
