I know how they can get out of the slump: MORE LAWSUITS! That's worked swimmingly for them the last 6 months right?
LOL

Not really. Mxy will just deny it. I expect something along the lines of Apple has multiple sources of supply and that Taiwan is not the only element of Apple's supply chain.
Nothing like a lie repeated multiple times in hopes it is confused for the truth.

Oh I'm sure Apple will be fine for as long as there are cult followers like you who will keep on buying their products no matter what, even though their phones get released on schedule, but underwhelm and disappoint other people in their right mind and stop buying them.

They'll hate as always, and apple will continue rolling along making billions. Big business is always up, and down but apple continues to clock huge profits.

Apple hasn't always been up dark. They have had ups and downs just like every other company, just not so much lately. If they can up their game with their next phone, they will make ridiculous money. If they disappoint like the iPhone 5 did many people I've seen in my store, they could be in trouble. Only time will tell.

It'll be interesting to see what happens in the coming months as to how will try and regain some momentum. I really think it's necessary to skip the iPhone 5S (unless iOS 7 is a game changer) and head straight for the iPhone 6.

And all indicators pointed to a ramp up of smart phone sales as people transitioned away from feature phones. While one month doesn't make a true picture, it's not looking good for Apple should this be a long term trend.

It will be worse from hereon Apple. I dont see them winning too many customers in the coming years. Android will always offer cheaper and better alternatives.
