Yesterday Apple reported its financial results for calendar Q2.
The company performance was pretty solid, overall. But it wasn't stellar as in the past. And the company reported the second consecutive decrease in revenues, that in addition were significantly lower than what analysts expected.
Still, it doesn't mean that Apple's existence is endangered in any way. At least not yet and most probably not in the nearest future.
However, when you take a deeper look on the financial data, you will notice a menacing trend - increasing number of Apple's financial dynamics (1st and 2nd order derivatives) is turning negative:

You may combine that with market dynamics for iOS vs Android.
I wonder whether you can draw any analogies from the experiences of Motorola, Nokia or Research in Motion?
