In other words, the analysts who have to come up with something to get clicks.
It's almost amusing, really... the OSS fansites that keep trumpeting the victory of Android or Linux any day now are fun, and have passion, at least.
The pros clinging to decade old rhubarbs though? Sad, man.

I think Apple is pretty much doing whatever they want right now and everybody is eating their stuff up.

Naw, if that were true, you wouldn't have the 'Apple is da ebil!' crowd out there. You also wouldn't have devs who still proclaim Obj-C as a wierd and dead language.
Apple is *succeeding*, true. But that's a little different than 'doing whatever they want', which has a connotation of lack of controls on behavior. They have <10% of the personal computer market, they have <25% of the smartphone market, only just crested 25% of the music market... there's a ton of competition.
Just not much that can keep up, right now.
Very different, than, say, having 90% of the personal computer market.
