One of the primary rules of Apple punditry is that if Apple has a problem, then that problem must be existential.
Writing for Computerworld, Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols says “Apple is not as good as its bottom line.” (Tip o’ the antlers to @designheretic.)
How can I say Apple is in trouble when it’s selling 10 iPhones per second?
And not burst into flames? Uh, say it while lounging in a bathtub full of industrial strength firefighting foam? That might do it.
