Apple Inc. (AAPL) fell after reporting iPhone sales that missed analysts’ projections, underscoring the computer maker’s reliance on demand for the smartphone.

The company sold 26 million iPhones in the fiscal third quarter, shy of the 28.4 million predicted by analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. That caused Apple to miss analysts’ quarterly sales and profit estimates for the second time since 2003.

wow, it says a little further down that the iphone makes up half their company's sales. With the market apparently standing at $219 million, wouldn't it then be a better idea to have more than one smartphone on the market?

I reckon thats why the sudden rush to get new iPad models out along with talk of a baby iPad.

If Apple's business falls off, that money will probably go to some other company of companies...however, I believe that Jobs passing is putting Apple into a steady decline!

..however, I believe that Jobs passing is putting Apple into a steady decline!

I must admit, it will be interesting to see over the next 5 years how they innovate in a post Jobs world. There must be plenty of talent at Apple, but they did decline the last time he wasn't at the helm.

Trouble is this time he's not coming back, or at least in physical form
