Five key risks that could impede Apple's dominance

The key reason for the success is the ecosystem Apple has created including iOS and app store that has over 350,000 apps.
The display of present iPhone 4 has 2:3 ratio, and the ration of the display of the upcoming iPhone 5 is rumored to be 3:4, similar to that of iPad display.
However, Jefferies analyst Peter Misek has listed five key risks that could impede Apple's dominance. Following are the risks:
1)  Closed system: iOS is a closed system that carriers, content providers, and partners fear as Apple exercises exceedingly tight control over the ecosystem. This could cause carriers to shift subsidy dollars away from iOS devices toward other devices that are likely to have more open ecosystems and lower price points.Hp presario cq40 batteryIbm thinkpad r40 battery
"In terms of content providers, we believe Apple is having a difficult time coming to terms with them. Aside from Disney (the owner of ABC, Pixar, Buena Vista, etc.), we believe content producers have been leery, especially on subscription pricing," Misek wrote in a note to clients.
2) Technical limitations: iOS devices have a handful of technical limitations that could impede growth, the two most important being security and bandwidth inefficiency.
"We continue to believe there is a pending spectrum and capacity crunch," the analyst said.
It could cause a crisis with prices jumping or services being hampered.
3) Arrogance and institutional complacency: Complacency is one of the major impediments to continued innovation and the competitive drive found in most technology companies. When companies appear to be alone at the top of a competitive market for extended periods of time it can breed a self absorption that fosters counter-competitive forces and destroys innovation.Hp dv9000 batteryHp nc8230 battery
4) Size: As companies grow larger it becomes increasingly difficult to manage disparate projects and R&D can spread too far and wide without cross collaboration.

5) Internal bias: A belief and/or desire to do it all internally creates issues for companies as they attempt to horizontally and/or vertically integrate too far all at once. Lack of specialization destroys profit and dilutes core compete.
iPhone 5 is rumored to have a more powerful battery than the existing version. iPhone 4 promises 14 hours of talk time on 2G and 7 hours on 3G as well as 300 hours of standby time. iPhone 5 is rumored to have a battery that will offer 16-17 hours of talk time on 2G and 7-8 hours on 3G. The standby time is expected to improve by a couple of hundred hours, at the least. The improved battery is expected to help iPhone 5 go head-to-head with the powerful Samsung Galaxy S II.
