    Just in case, think of it as Chile without the copper.




    It's a computer company, that's one of their computers... solidly selling one of their computer offerings IS good news.

    An even better comparison would be Google without advertising revenue...

    Considering it's their most important, influential product and the hub of their entire ecosystem-  yes, it is fantastic news.

     

    You would never give Apple a shred of fucking credit even if your pathetic, miserable life depended on it.

    Yeah, but GOOG is trading at $555 and Google is worth much less than Apple.

    I don't care. Last week when Google, Microsoft and Amazon announced (all on the same day) their stocks immediately shot up 4, 5 or more percent after hours. There's nothing in this quarter that warrants the stock being up only 1.2% after hours. Nobody should be surprised by light iPad sales at this point and new Macs didn't really ship until April. Maybe the stock will get a bounce when the conference call starts but it's rare that anything Tim Cook says makes the stock go higher.

    The iPad has had what, four or five straight quarters of YoY decline.  So in spite of Apple's record-breaking March quarter, iPad sales do remain a dark cloud in the overall numbers.

    12,000,000 iPads is 5800 per hour.

     

    Surely doomed, because Surface and Samsung are blowing the doors off of this meager number.

    Yeah but if you look at it 60:12:4 when it comes to iPhone:iPad:Mac is spot on really.  As far as what you would expect the ratios to be.  You are saying for every 5 iPhones purchased 1 person also gets an iPad,  or for every 15 iPhones 1 person gets a Mac.  That's about right I think.  Especially if you think about a family who gets 3 iPhones, and 2 people who just only have an iPhone as their main "system", the family gets 1 iPad or 1 computer.

    What were people expecting for iPad this quarter? Why would anyone expect iPad to turn around this quarter?

    Apple didn't plan on the iPhone becoming 70% of their revenue.

    They simply offer a $600+ phone and can sell 60 million of them in a quarter.

    You should know better than this sort of comment. AAPL was up by about the same during the day adding substantially to the gains over the past several days in anticipation of a good earnings report. As it was, this report is just about where it needed to be to support the stock price, given the forecasts.

    Sadly for Apple, that 70% just isn't going to hold up.

     

    Those watches that nobody wants along with Apple's lower margins are going to conspire to drive that iPhone profit share even higher.

     

    Oh, wait.

     

    I have that backwards.

     

    The watch is going to push that 70% back down, because people want them, and the margins are even better than they are on the iPhone.

     

    What a predicament for Apple...

    Could be that folk are passing on the iPad and going with a humongous iPhone instead.

    I didn't think they would. Any number he said short of like 10 million would cause the stock to drop. :rolleyes:
