Did you even read the article?
First thing, Apple is the smallest loser in this upgrade cycle. Being only downed 11% compared to downed 37% for Google.
Second, the only manufacturer growing is Motorola. Not Pixel/Next.

The article is incorrect then. Nest is growing.

> Pichai went on to note that Pixels “gained share in every market” Google operated in this year.

If only Apple sold more than just iPhones and had some type of services business that could leverage their base of customers to get continuing growing revenue…
Being bullish on excess capitalism during a slow down doesn't seem like a no-brainer play to me.
But to each their own.
Realistically, I'm just not sure how much growth Apple has unless India becomes a gigantic market and pulls of a China miracle of its own.
It's already by a large margin the largest private company in the world...
