I found this while looking through tech news today:

It poses the question, has Apple topped out? Can they really come up with the type of revolutionary products they used too? I actually discussed some of these points with one of my co-workers while we were at WWDC this year. Most of the announcements from the Steve-Note were not new, they had been leaked days before he gave the talk. The Apple rumor sites are amazing accurate these days. But the bigger question is can they continue to one up themselves as they have before. That is a very hard thing to do. In some ways I feel like the bar has been set so high for them, they are sure to begin to deliver products that we think are less than they should be.

But I thought there was a nice paradox in this article though. Basically the author was saying, I have lowered my expectation of being surprised by Apple. But by doing so is he setting himself up for that very thing, a suprise from Apple?

Personally, I am the innovative type. I always want something that is one or two steps more than anyone has delivered. I think there are still many opportunities for Apple to innovate and surprise the world. What do you think?
