“I often engage in discussions with the financial community on matters related to tech for their portfolio management. One of the things I was asked in a recent conversation intrigued me,” Ben Bajarin writes for Tech.pinions. “The question was around why Apple seems to be dominating their competition with such a limited product portfolio mix.”

“Tim Cook continues to emphasize with each investor, earnings, and public event that Apple’s laser focus is to continue striving to make the best products on the planet. Given that Apple seems nearly unstoppable, it appears their strategy is working,” Bajarin writes. “And it does make you wonder what Tim Cook’s statements about Apple continuing to focus on making the best products and Apple’s dominant position (especially with iPhone and iPad) says about other products on the market.”

Bajarin writes, “So the question thrown at me was ‘Do Apple competitors make bad products?’ In light of Apple’s continual progress forward and other companies’ struggle to keep up, this is an interesting question. The answer is simply that many Apple competitors make very good products. I happen to like quite a few of them. The problem — for competitors — is that Apple makes exceptional products and perhaps more importantly, extraordinary experiences with those products.”
