The end is nigh for Apple
 

There are grave portents of the end of the world for the Apple Cargo cult – the Sky has turned black, clouds did pour forth Late, a four headed dog was birthed by a Chicago woman and people did not buy as many iPhones for Christmas.

For a while now, the Tame Apple Press has been talking up Apple's deals with the Chinese as a way that Apple would ride out an expected downturn in iPhone sales. However not only are saner heads pointing out that Apple is doomed in China, it seems that the company's core base, the US, is losing interest in the cargo cult.

The forecast for the March quarter, when Apple is expected to have reaped the fruits of that long-awaited deal, raised questions of whether investors were stupid enough to ignore warnings from TechEye, and instead bought into the New York Time's vision of a China fit for Apple fanboys.

Shipments to China Mobile were much lower than almost anybody expected and the US market is saturated. In short Jobs' Mob has nowhere to go.
