Apple shocked everyone yesterday announcing record quarterly results that exceeded analysts’ expectations. What was the reason behind their success?
I asked this question to Simon from Astute Photo, who argues that careful product management, genial engineerng, iconic design and great marketing are all reasons for their success.
