So, where will Apple find the growth that investors seek? Well, the Apple Watch is already a billion dollar business, with estimates showing it outpacing even the iPhone in comparative first-year sales. At some point, possibly this year, the Apple Watch will shed its dependency on the iPhone and quash performance issues plaguing its use. Then there are whispers of Apple’s work in AR / VR, truly wireless earbuds, and of course, the Apple Car. Any of which could spawn another hit and send Apple revenue to even higher heights. Maybe. |
As a company - probably not but they need to come out with some new ideas. Their eco-system of people connected to multiple devices and other Apple users is too big and global for them not to continue to leverage it into more revenue.
IMO they need to stop hoarding cash and go buy some established companies. Facebook is flying in part because it made some expensive acquisitions that are paying off in big ways. Apple needs to do the same. Not suggesting this - just throwing it out as example - combine the Apple eco-system and customer base with Netflix and leverage boths content and loyal customers.
Their weakness going forward is where can they ever find growth?

It's tough to say. You can try to draw parallels with other Tech companies but Apple is so unique it wouldn't be a true apples to apples comparison.
