Apple's dominance in the tech industry has been well-documented in recent years. In 2012, the company continued to set new records for revenue, profits and market capitalization. Apple's share price rose by more than 75% during the year, and it became the first publicly traded company in the United States to be worth more than $600 billion.

Apple's success was driven by strong sales of its iPhone and iPad products, as well as the continued growth of its App Store and its services businesses. The iPhone 5, which was released in September 2012, was the company's most successful product launch ever, selling more than 5 million units in its first weekend on sale.

However, there are some signs that Apple's dominance may be starting to fade. In recent months, the company's stock price has been under pressure, and some analysts have expressed concern about its ability to maintain its growth rate. Additionally, Apple is facing increasing competition from rivals such as Samsung, Google and Amazon, which are all investing heavily in their own mobile and computing products.

In the long term, it is difficult to say whether Apple will be able to maintain its lead over its competitors. However, the company does have a number of advantages, such as its strong brand recognition, its large installed base of customers, and its commitment to innovation.

Whether Apple can continue to maintain its position of dominance in the tech industry is still a question mark, but the company still has the potential to be one of the most influential and innovative companies in the world for many years to come.
