"We're the largest mobile device company in the world. Larger than Sony, bigger than Samsung. And by revenue... even bigger than Nokia." - Steve Jobs when introducing the iPad.

It looks like they are satisfied with what they've done, now they're just counting their chips. They are one of the big boys, the fat cats. Apple, as we used to know it, is dead.

Essentially they can no longer really grow by just innovation and competing better in other people's space, so they've gone 180 and are now trying to block everyone else from innovating and competing better than them.
