Apple's quarterly profits are lower than analysts' expectations, with iPad sales slowing ahead of the launch of a smaller version whereas Samsung Electronics has reported record profit in the three months to September, led by strong sales of its Galaxy range of smartphones.

is this the start of the downfall for apple?

Apple has copied all the products
See announced in 2006, LG Prada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Iphone came out later, so you known apple copied it

Well i don't agree with this statement and even a quarter sale is not sufficient for saying that Apple is going down.

And I respect the analyst's expectations they worth a lot; but being an analyst I thought hard time is always there for every company might be the last quarter season was favorable for Samsung not for Apple. Hence on the basis of a single quarter profit report it’s really not easy to say for Apple that their downfall begins.

All i can say is, it lost its touch without Jobs. Maybe Cook is NOT product-centric like jobs!!
