Apple in 2016: Is the mighty iPhone in decline?

BBC

Despite a rip-roaring 2015, something peculiar happened this month: Apple's stock value dropped to below $100 for the first time since October 2014.

That was down from a high of just over $132 last May.

As I write this, it's rallying on account of some decent rumours - but it's on Tuesday we'll truly know if 2016 is going to be a tough one for the tech giant.

If it's at its worst since October 2014, obviously you would call that a decline... it's not time to panic or anything though. This is Apple we're talking about...

Reuters is now reporting that Apple's iPhone sales only grew by 0.4 percent, which is the lowest rate since their launch in 2007. So clearly there's some truth to it all.

It's in decline, but it's far from out of the game. Apple has brand loyalty and that's a more powerful thing than consumers would realize. How else have they survived Windows and PCs?

I guess they will hit back market for sure with something unexpected that will make them at top in the market again.

Maybe not in decline but so many other phones have come on the scene its dog eat dog.
