Yesterday (well, CET in any case), Apple posted its financial results for the second quarter of the 2008 fiscal year (which ended 29 March). While sales of Macintosh laptops and desktops soared to ever greater heights, and while sales of the iPod consolidated itself, the news is not so good for the iPhone. And the dodo will have an Apple TV to play with, soon.

Why is that expected? I think you've embraced a bit too much of Apple's spin. Apple is trying to explain the drop in iPhone sales as some kind of seasonal phenomenon, but that simply doesn't ring true (pun intended). iPhone is a glorified mobile phone. It isn't an electric rotating tie rack. Or a box of holiday fruitcake. People buy mobile phones constantly. Perhaps the most obvious explanation is that they're still too expensive (urban hipsters can certainly spare some of their spare latte coin but, sorry, not Peoria), and the hype doesn't jibe with reality.
