Cult of Mac brings some welcome perspective to the “Apple is cannibalizing everything” meme concluding that Apple hasn’t taken anything from netbooks, notebooks, PCs, hand-held gaming systems, newspapers or DVDs and incorporated what it has taken into its own products. Rather:
Apple is providing an alternative to these platforms and media, and some customers are choosing Apple’s alternative in cases where without Apple they would have presumably chosen the older model. That’s not cannibalism. That’s just capitalism.
