Right now Apple’s iPod is one of the hottest electronic gadgets around. Millions of people throughout the world own an iPod. Some own several iPods due to the many changes and upgrades this incredible MP3 player has undergone. But with all the incredible support this device has had, has its success finally peaked? While analysts agree that sales of the Apple iPhone are on the rise, the Apple iPod may see a decline in 2009. Only time will tell.
 So the question isn't "will Apple sales be hit by the recession?" - they clearly will - but whether Apple will be hit harder than the rest of the PC industry. The bare-bones analysis of pricing suggests it will, but you also have to take into account the momentum that its increasing market and mind-shares have given it. I'd expect Apple's Mac share growth to continue over the next couple of quarters, but decline after that if the recession continues. At some point, if the recession continues long enough, they will start to decline if Apple doesn't change its product line mix - but that decline could be a year away, and depends on a whole host of macroeconomic factors.
