I think about this a lot, but I can't come up with a single product that has an average selling price of over $600, that pretty much EVERYONE (at least adults) in the world would need, that they would also want to upgrade every two years.

The Watch would be this device as long as its gets more independent of the phone. Maybe a car in the future!

But in the near term, I would imagine their growth would taper off as more and more of the developing world get an iPhone (China still has few more years of growth) & Moore's law means features aren't added as often.

Apple has enough in the bank to make a strategic shift or leap into another market when that starts to happens (who knows what they haven't released that they've been prototyping for years).

The problem is not about resources. It's about the organization's product-oriented DNA and its familiarity to the field it works on. I hope Apple could show us some more polished products so that as someone who works on iOS could see a clearer and brighter future.

I hope so!

I mean what would buy apart from a phone and a watch (& a car) thats worth more than $500?

Smart Shoes? :)

An iRobot: android capable of basic tasks to help out with repetitive chores. Costs much more than $600 and every few years it gets progressively less stupid, meaning that people will happily shell out money for the latest and greatest because the newest one is just absolutely gorgeous and can not only take the dog for a walk but will teach you another language.
