How will this affect Apple?

As Aaron Henry Blodget discuss work and in the video that accompanies short term is not a concern. Apple remains one of the most popular in the world thanks to strong sales of Macs, iPhones and iPads. The company seems to be an incredible boost in the next few product cycles, largely thanks to the technological vision of employment "and brilliant marketing.
