The issue isn't making money. Even the previous quarter, which many analysts have complained about for the profit warning and all, is not only the second-best quarter of Apple, but actually the second-best quarter of any company at all in the history of the world. Which, to Wall Street, isn't good enough.

Which is kind of a broken system. You'd think it'd be perfectly sustainable just to be a business selling desktop computers. But no, there's got to be growth.

iPhones? That's great, but no more growth in those.
