Came out with the iPad, became the market leader in tablets.

They need to find their next market, in which wearables have the talk the past couple years. Hopefully that's what will be announced at their next event.
Don't forget though in each of those instances they were quite late to the dance. They tend to hang back and observe what the rest of the industry is doing and then improve upon it. Aside from an actual tv, what product is currently out there that they'll improve upon? I'd say the Pebble is the most likely target, but it's practically a beta device. I wonder if Apple waits to see what companies like Samsung release for wearables first?
