In my opinion Apple products are way over hyped/expensive for what they offer. I really doubt the general public who upgraded from the 3GS really needed the increased MP on the camera and faster CPU..
The only thing I think Apple has done well on would be Marketing their products, otherwise everything else isn't in my eyes 'original'.
i know their shares went down when they launched iphone 4s , not iphone 5. but people will still buy iphone 4s . heard there are still significant differences between iphone 4 and ihpone4s
Since the launch of the 4S also put it in the hands of Sprint users, it has allowed a significant number of new users access to apple products. Indeed, that is precisely what I did.
How many users upgraded from a 4 to a 4S? or an earlier model?
How about upgrading from a competing smart device?
Number of users obtaining an Apple device for the first time?
From what I can see, the expectation for an iPhone 5 was extremely high, so the 4S was a let down in comparison; coupled with the Siri controversy that put a bit of a black cloud over the affair.
I'd also contend that share prices of a company that makes and sells physical products don't necessarily give an indication of the health of a company, or the success, or specifically failure, of a given product.

Re: iPhone 4s is a flop... or is it?
I'm definitely in the "Apple are Over Priced and Over Hyped" camp but you'd be a fool to predict their products woulr be flops. While I've never been blown away by their tech it's undoubtable that their marketting is superb and they seem to have an uncanny ability to tap into the zeitgeist.
