    Decided not to contribute to silly and insignificant arguments in the forums. Everyone is awesome!

    Side note, at least we don't have to worry about any claims that Tim sexually harasses women and having the stock tank as a result.

    Holy fucking shit...insane results.
    and AAPL will drop because investors said Apple sold less iPhone comparing to last year...yup. They will then go on saying that next quarter will be worse.

    You are correct since it is a foreign concept on Wall Street for a company to sell less and make more profits. Their MBA educations has not taught them how this is possible. They only the learned in school is sell more widget to make more money and the race to the bottom is the only way to win the market share competition. The problem is Apple never showed up to the market share race.
    They also dropped out of that class & dropped in to the calligraphy class instead. Then dropped some acid. 🙃

    AND the iPhone X experience is addictive. The moment it’s available in iPad I’m there and I’d never go back to the “old” tech.

    And this is how they reported Amazon:

    Amazon blew past street estimates for its fourth quarter earnings, reflecting strong holiday sales and growth in its cloud business.

    Here are the most important numbers:

    • Revenue: $60.5 billion vs. $59.83 billion, as estimated, according to Thomson Reuters
    • EPS: $3.75 per share*
    • AWS revenue: $5.11 billion vs. $4.97 billion, as estimated, according to FactSet



    Which is fine with me.  As long as AMZN stays above $1420 I'll make around $1250-1300 on 3 options plays I opened last week and this week.   

    My few AAPL shares are a long term commitment.  AMZN is a quick buck :)

    Indeed - "blew past" - revenue 1.1% higher than estimates!  Hard to imagine...

    Amazon reported a "somewhat real" profit??!!!  Bezos won't be happy about that - gotta spend that shit!  If Amazon reports consistent (small) profits, then eventually people will pay attention to a ludicrous P/E ratio.  When there aren't any profits and P/E is "N/A", no one cares.

    The rumor from the past week that iPhone unit sales would be lower than projected was in fact true.

    Like a typical ANALyst, Pulled that point right out of your *ss.  With a never, ever, before seen Average selling Price of about $796.42, it would Contradict that uninformed comment. ….So No, Not True
    You have terrible reading comprehension.  Says in the article iPhone sales were DOWN 1.2%.  This means they sold FEWER iPhones than the same quarter last year.  But yes the ASP was fantastic, and much better than expected.  Means lots of iPhone X and not a lot of iPhone 8
    No. My reading comprehension is very astute. Cherry picking information is NOT reading comprehension.
    As it has been pointed out, this was a 13 week quarter being compared to a 14 week quarter. So an Apples to Apples comparison and review, will yield about 5 to 6% MORE iPhones being sold. BUT don't Let FACTS get in the way of your trolling, please.
    The quarter was 92 days long in 2017, as it was in 2016, as it was in 2015  as it was in 2014, ....  and every day of the quarter people had the chance to buy an iPhone.
    Your reasoning is plain bullshit

    Any Apple fan knew this was going to be the biggest quarter in their history, I’m glad all the rumours were false! Also good to see the iPad sales increase, and hopefully the same this year once the new Pros are released.
    So true. It’s clear that the industry analysts either just simply don’t understand Apple’s business model, or they do and it is unabashed stock manipulation.

    You don’t know how retail calendars work then?
    if you did you would know that retailers work in whole weeks as any Monday is more like any Monday than any Tuesday etc. Retail calendars are fitted into financial quarters but some get more weeks revenue than others. Not reasoning just how retailers do business.

    Aside from the very correctly stated fact that this quarter was 13 weeks long, year-ago was 14 weeks — this is fiscal Q1 2018 that ended Dec 30, 2017 for Apple. Also 92*4 = 368 days in a year? Apple has a 3 day sales advantage over other companies!

    "iPhone sales miss" It's 13 weeks for the quarter vs 14 weeks year ago. If you count by units per week iPhone sales is up.
