With the rumor that within a few years INTEL will have a cross platform CPU it may mean the potential end for Apple.
Wish I had a penny for every time I've heard some suggest that such and such rumor may mean the end for Apple.
With a multi-platform PC many times cheaper than a Mac, people will cross over with reluctance in order to keep their costs down (they think).
One of the main things going for the Mac is its reliability, as IBM compatible PC's breakdown all to frequently. Over the years the Mac will out last a PC many times but as initial costs are high this will force people to take up the multi-platform if they change their PC's more frequently.
Similar sorts of arguments are often made in the camera industry. But even after 30 years, in my personal experience, of people predicting the end for Leica, they're still making and selling cameras.
