Very true. That was bolstered with tightly integrated OS/Software/Hardware which promoted superior reliability vs Windows and the thousands of external vendors. Folks would stroll into Fry's Electronics and buy an external DVD player for $29.95 and complain when it didn't work or worse caused OS issues on their $299 laptop.
IMO the facade of Apple reliability is starting to fracture. OS updates on mobile devices are not without issue. Spinning beach balls are not as rare these days but trumping (oops) all of that is the very real loss of Steve Jobs imagination. Reports of Apple not paying their "fair share" in taxes may actually put a dent into their very large millennial fan base who are sporting Feel the burn tattoos.
