What should Apple do next?

Apple reported its first fall in sales in 13 years on Tuesday. Sales were down around $8bn (£5.5bn) compared with this time last year and its shares have fallen nearly 20% in the last 12 months.
While it’s fair to say the firm is still a long way from the breadline - it has around $200bn in offshore reserves alone - many see the news as a sign that the winning formula it has upheld for so long is no longer enough.
So where next for the billion dollar business? The BBC asked the experts.
“Apple has a big role to play in both the vehicle, and energy harvesting, making the process more efficient. It would be a completely new market for them and would also address those challenges.”
“We will have to wait and see if products like the Apple Watch, iPad or even the ‘Apple Car’ can help to drive up revenues once again.”
“Personal health is going to be a huge market and Apple has the product to leverage that.”
