Good brand & logo. Perennial appeal to youth. Won’t die.
They could quit producing hardware completely, & just be a service flinging shovel loads of hot coals in users faces & people would still buy into it.

This poll really needs an extra option: Apple will exist for as long as the middle class will exist.

In the 80s, "Reaganomics" has been used in order to stimulate the electronics consumer products development and the middle class who were buying it as a way to rejuvenate the economy. What is going to happen to the middle class in the near future is the topic that is open for discussions.
