What challenges might Apple face in maintaining its brand positioning in the future?

Apple might face several challenges in maintaining its brand positioning in the future. One of the main challenges could be the rapid technological advancements and innovation in the tech industry. Competitors might come up with superior products that could potentially threaten Apple's position as a luxury brand. Another challenge could be changing consumer preferences.

Additionally, economic factors such as recessions or economic downturns could also pose a challenge as consumers might cut back on luxury purchases.
