Apple’s positioning has been rock solid for years, but can the brand maintain this? Will we still spend €1,500 next year on the latest iPhone?

Apple Computers is for many the brand with one of the strongest positionings in the world. iPhones have been the flagship in the smartphone industry for years, and MacBooks are the most coveted laptops available. Even in recent years, Apple managed to disrupt the audio market with its AirPods. But many wonder how long Apple can keep going this way and whether it is relying too much on past success. Are they still innovating enough, or have they been milking existing products for too long? We ask ourselves these questions and discuss opportunities for new companies.
