With all this App Store monopoly talk and pressure to open up, I think Apple will take a hit too. With that said, I think they deserve to be valued higher than most of these companies; Apple seems to have stronger product offerings and customer experience.

Apple’s been earning my money for a long time, but I will say: some of my favorite things about their products have seemed less reliable in recent years. I used to love how painless Handoff was, and how easy it was to switch AirPods from one device to the next. Both are finicky and slow now, and I hear the same from other people I know (unprompted anecdata).

They've expanded their areas of product focus - I agree that as they've done that, some of their refinement has slipped. They're not bad by any stretch, but some of that "it just works" magic is looking a little threadbare these days.

Apple will take a hit, but they will still come out on top there's no way they don't since they have a massive advantage even with the most drastic of proposed anti-monopoly talks.

Unless they have foolish short term thinking and make careless restructuring mistakes in attempts to maintain the "old way", and judging by some of the board and their public comments... that might be a real concern.
