It would be tough to say that Apple is struggling but with the current economic conditions they aren't doing quite as well as usual. I read a few articles in the WSJ about how they are examining their pricing strategy to stimulate their business. In some respects they do have some good price cuts but for other products it's vastly different experts say. The end of last year for them was not good just like everyone else and it might be a bit tougher because they do charge a premium price and is not so appealing with everyone's wallets hurting. I also read an article that talked about certain speculations of layoffs but is apparently rumors based on a few conclusions drawn. The biggest reason was that according to laws in California they have to report a mass layoff to the state before its done. Both were pretty interesting articles and although they might be hurting a bit, it is evident that Apple isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
