I think this video by Simon Sinek explains very well why Apple is successful. It's the motivation behind doing the things they do that matters, not just what they make. This tends to attract a lot of customers to think the same way, and believe in Apple's goals and philosophy.<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qp0HIF3SfI4" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qp0HIF3SfI4</a>

I continue to hope that more companies will take the lesson from Apple and start doing more in-house engineering with a focus on quality and not the race to the bottom.

Is it the most profitable company ever after accounting for inflation? Probably not, but would love to see some data on that.
