Corporations are not meant to disrupt themselves. It just doesn't happen.

Apple disrupted itself at least twice.

macOS are the Apple II series iPhone clobbered the iPod.

Both of those are examples of parallel product groups that eventually migrated one set to the other.

The Apple II product line lasted until 1992, by which point the Mac product line had become affordable to the people at which the apple 2 line had been marketed.

The iPod continued as the iPod classic and iPod touch products until 2015, nearly 10 years after the iPhone was released.
