my issue is that the iphone 6/6s is very bad and i've provided facts to support that assertion

i don't know what smokescreen you're trying to throw up to distract from said facts, but it's not very effective

but you do admit that its not an "unprecedented" cut in supply line production given that the 5 had an even bigger reduction in component production surely

can we get some toxx's going and actually make predictions like what the stock price/market share will be in year?

apple is doomed/apple is infallible are stupid positions because you can always cherry pick data to back your point

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

�Our team delivered Apple�s biggest quarter ever, thanks to the world�s most innovative products and all-time record sales of iPhone, Apple Watch and Apple TV,� said Tim Cook, Apple�s CEO. �The growth of our Services business accelerated during the quarter to produce record results, and our installed base recently crossed a major milestone of one billion active devices.�"

Thanks.

I like my iPhone 6 and I don't think it's too big, but I can reach all corners of the screen with my thumb. If it was any bigger I'd hate it.

iTunes was good when it was better than Windows Media Player but then they started doing stuff like patching it every day and when it patched, it'd overwrite my settings which meant when I plugged my iPod in to charge, it would format the iPod and not sync anything to it even though I turned that setting off. Which dipshit at Apple though it was a good idea to even have that as an option back when the biggest non-huge-iPod was like 16GB and most people had huge, huge libraries that it couldn't possibly fit

a good barometer for apple decisions: do nerds hate it? then its probably really good and will do well

it's actually the exact opposite

nerds have always wanted tons of unnecessary customization options and bells & whistles.. steve jobs would say "no, gently caress you, we're just giving you what works best," and apple skyrocketed because of it

tim cook is the one caving to every possible thing that any nerd has ever demanded - huge screens, garish colors, styluses, battery cases, screen protectors, multitasking on mobile OSes, third party keyboards, etc

So, how close did Apple come to not setting all-time records in the most recent quarter? This close: Its revenues and profits surpassed the highs set in the same quarter last year by roughly 2 percent each. This after a five-year span over which Q1 revenues had exploded fivefold, including a 30 percent jump between 2014 and 2015. So, while the company’s revenues are still growing, that growth just screeched to a near halt.

I don't really like Apple but I gotta say; so what?

They're the biggest company in the world, growth can't just continue like that forever. They're not only the biggest, they're also the most profitable company in the world. I think they're starting to slip too but if Apple falls it's going to be 10-15 years from now (at least). They've got poo poo tons of capital to work with in the meantime.

That article is kinda 'tech people chime in with their business/finance thoughts.'
