Add to that list: All newly added innovations will be dismissed as copies of some halfassed implementation on some totally unrelated device which existed at some point in history and had nothing to do with anything anywhere.
You mean the old “My xyz device has had that feature for years. Come on, Apple, stop copying and start innovating” memo?
So I am dating someone very important who works for Apple. I have always known apple product release dates before they come out. The iphone 6 will be released September 11th NOT on the 9th!
It’s not a Friday, so no, it won’t be. We’re not talking about the release date, anyway. We’re talking about announcement date. Thanks for reliving the past with your brother’s cousin’s uncle’s niece’s roommate story, though! I miss those.

So in other words, Apple is making your 'so obvious a dead man can see it' 5.5" iPhone in the US because there have been no leaks from China.
There have been plenty of leaked photos, you just keep saying they don't count for some reason.
Maybe they don't end up releasing a 5.5" at all in the end, or it comes out later instead of with the 4.7" or it turns out to be an iPod instead of a phone. But it's pretty clear that if nothing else, Apple at the very least investigated the possibility of making one and mocked up some prototypes. There's no reason to think they wouldn't - the Note series has proved pretty popular to the tune of tens of millions of units sold. There's obviously a market for that device, so even if Apple ultimately decides not to go after it or to instead try to sway them to a 4.7, logically they would have at least put some research into that area.
I could see a simular staggered release for iPhone6 and iPhone6 Big Ass
No, I think he meant "how can they start manufacturing in August, release in Oct, without leaks?" I ask the same question. We've seen enough leaks of the 4.7" to build the iPhone at this point. Not so much on the 5.5.

You're kidding, right? So guesses out weigh facts and actual data?
Lol no, I'm not kidding at all... it is actually how the stock market works =p
If you were to base it on facts and actual data, by definition you could only evaluate the past and the current moment. People don't invest for the current or the past. They invest with the hopes that in the future they will receive a good return on their investment. They are speculating that the company of their (or their financial advisor's) choice will do well.
Analysts may not be great at predicting the actual future, but they are very good (or know people that are very good) at math.
So if they predict a company will sell 75 million n's at y margin, they can do a NPV calculation, move it forward, and tell you their target based on that assumption is, say $110.
If the company were to *actually* sell 72 million n's at y margin, their prediction was wrong and the company should be worth somewhat less than $110. Even if selling 72 million is stellar and an earth shaking record, hopefully even you agree that that is less than selling 75 million of the things would be. If they were wrong and the company actually sells 100 million units, would you agree that its price should go up if its valuation were based on it selling only 75 million?
For those of you just tuning in to AI for the first time and don’t know he’s joking, remember that in 2011, the whole world knew Apple was releasing the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 simultaneously.
What I remember from 2012 (oops) is that somebody on here (you, perhaps?) was quite insistent that there was no way - NO WAY! - that the new iPhone would be called the iPhone 5.

Is he married?
meaning manufactering could start in late August without leaks.
What on Earth makes you think that?

Long distance relationship, eh? Sucks.
Or you could just say 'sister'

Now Daryanani says it's possible that Apple could sell 10 million "iPhone 6" units on the device's launch weekend...
Times are a changing. The original iPhone sold 10 million units in its first YEAR.

That would seem unlikely to me, in view of 2001.
