This was inevitable for Apple; their stratospheric valuation has expected growth priced in. Given the company&#x27;s inability to foster the same ambition Steve Jobs instilled in it, they can only ride on their existing product line for so long.<p>I do find their lack of acquisitions strange given how much capital they are sitting on. There are a lot of markets w&#x2F;high barriers to entry they&#x27;d have no trouble getting their foot in the door(Gaming, On Demand Streaming, etc...).
