Good article, Adrian...
Apple have had an excellent quarter and it would be foolish to argue that, however market saturation is creeping in - Macs have plateaued, iPods have modest low single digit growth and the iPhone (which is the product mainly responsible for driving revenue increases) is following a high end smartphone demand curve (it is unlikely it will be a 45 million year product without model diversifaction).

Which is not to say it's bad news, just that Apple have found their niche and are doing mighty fine out of it. Not sure this is recession driven, it looks more like market saturation.
