Well, how do you explain companies like Google? I mean it is arguable that their business plan has always been expansive from the birth of the company, but they have managed to continuously push forward no matter the failure or success of the product/service. Even Microsoft with Windows 8 was looking to change their overall design, and it ultimately didn't fair to well, but Windows 10 (although its too early to tell) is being hailed as a great mix of old and new in terms of interface.

I feel like Steve Jobs started something brilliant, and Apple just kind of rode his creation. Now they are in a position that if the magic of the iPhone branded products wears off they are pretty much done for.
