yep, you were hoping that we'd ignore the fact that iphone production was cut back recently for the first time ever which means they failed to meet internal sales goals gosh it's almost as if tim's constant triangulation resulted in explosive, short term growth that was ultimately unsustainable instead of focusing on innovation and quality that would result in steady, long term success edit: lol yep you also quoted tim's damage control spiel which includes such wonderful indicators of financial success as "currency difficulties" and a conspicuous lack of iwatch sales numbers Stymie fucked around with this message at 01:25 on Feb 10, 2016 |

no i accurately predicted that it would be oversized and bad and i was proven correct, as evidenced by the fact that it was oversized and bad what i failed to predict was that they would make a second, even more oversized and worse phone and now apple is cutting production for literally the first time in the history if the iphone because the phones are oversized and bad

also, further quick reminder that apple is doing so well that it ceased to be the highest valuated us company in favor of google's parent company (that is basically just google parted out and under a different name)

apple is the only company on the planet that can keep posting record sales, revenues and profits while keeping an unbelievably huge balance sheet and simultaneously entering and dominating multiple new markets yet still have nerds claim year after year that they're dying

power botton posted:the same claims that tell you everything about every new hardware release months before the keynotes? ya well i just think its important to clarify, because the same source, nikkei, that the claims of a 30% cut in production on the 6s originated from, also claimed that iphone 5 production was being cut by 50% in 2013 and precipitated a similar drop in share prices.
