Did Apple miss its expectations? Nope. Did it "miss" analysts wild guesses? I guess. So let me get this straight, stock holders would rather listen to outsiders than insiders. Ok.
Buying opportunities like this should be taken advantage of... When a drop is irrational, buy on the irrationality.
How do you define bad? 51 million iPhones is second only Samsung as the most phones sold in a quarter. And Samsung sells a lot more phone models than Apple does.
In addition, there is no way to independently confirm Samsung's sales figures.
Apple provides a range for earnings and they beat the middle of that range. The analysts are jackasses. If you could pick up an undervalued stock at a bargain basement price by badmouthing and floating bad data, would you do the same? That's a very large incentive to poison the well and pick up AAPL at a discount.
Hmmmm... I've been hearing that refrain for a while now on Apple Insider.
Stock prices is all about growth potential, and Apple is not delivering it. Guidance for next quarter is bad, iPhone number is bad, stock goes down, there is no mystery here and it doesn't mean Apple is doom or that analyst expectations were too high....
Stock price is NOT "all about growth potential". That's a myth these manipulators would love you to perpetuate.
Guidance for next quarter is NOT "bad". Certainly it's less than the 'boom time' that is Q1. As is NORMAL for this industry. But compare it to the same time last year. NOT "bad". See?
And as for not delivering growth. 10% year on year growth in sales volume for iOS devices? How is that not delivering growth? Growth in net profits, growth in sales volumes, sustaining margins. And if they did grow it any faster, these people would call it "overheated growth" and tank the stock...
When, how and where can Apple do "right" in the eyes and minds of these people? They can't. Ever.
Because it's a heavily manipulated stock, and is being tanked due to greed. Icahn (who undoubtedly sold a huge chunk just before the close) and others are snapping it up all the way down too. Because tomorrow (or within a few days) it'll be above where it closed today, and they'll all have made out like the bandits they are..........

its bad it terms of growth. The numbers of unit sales and cash generations beats any other company, but that is all price in going into this.
The major problem is guidance, again no growth. The guys here pound the table to consider Apple guidance instead of analyst expectations, well the stock is doing just that.
Hmmmm... I've been hearing that refrain for a while now on Apple Insider.
So, what about it? These analysts cannot be prosecuted for voicing their "opinion", so it's not really stock manipulation...right? Without the possibility of prosecution, these people are out to protect their client's interests, which means buying and selling to generate a profit. If you fail to connect the dots, I don't know what to tell you.

Both iPhone and iPad grew YOY. Apple met or exceeded all their guidance. OK maybe the stock didn't deserve to jump after hours but it certainly didn't deserve to drop 8%.

After years of owning AAPL stock (pre- and post-2008 crash) I was used to a pattern of "buy on the rumor, sell on the news" before the recession/depression hit, but this is an extreme drop after hours.

Lets see Samsung profit 1b compare to Apple $13.1B profit wow you are right Apple is doom

You must be smoking crack, because you're really fixated on "bad" numbers that don't exist...
Gotta love crap like this, it brings the trolls and Wall Scumbags out of their caves in a heartbeat.

Great stuff, Apple. Very reaffirming.

51m iPhones hmm stupid 5c, well atleast better revenue
Look at all that proof of anything.

Amazing quarter, but not for the iPhone. Almost 0 growth.
Apple has all the signs they need: If they want growth (Only someone out of touch with the reality would say that they “need” it to survive, as ....
51 million phones versus 47.8 isn't remotely "close to 0 growth".
That's just under 10% increase YoY.

Apple met or exceeded their guidance. it's not Apple's fault if Wall Street decides to get overly aggressive with their estimates.
Which is exactly what I said.

The Rainbow of Doom.
iDoomed?
The BIG silver lining in this is the hope that Carl Icahn will sell his stake in Apple and go away now. Get down on your knees and pray this happens.
