I sort of agree and disagree with you.
I think in Apple's case, strength relative to competition is a little redundant because if you're buying an Android tablet, then you're generally not buying a Apple tablet.
In Amazon's case, on the other hand, a lot of people consider their competition to be Walmart. Still, I (and many other consumers) shop from both places simultaneously.
Amazon can get stronger without Walmart getting weaker; I wouldn't really say the same about Apple and Apple's competition.
