Timing of releases all at once as well as inferior products like the Apple TV, no Touch ID on notebooks (essential & readily available) for enterprise sales was just plain stupid! Tim is great but he clearly got sidetracked on global political issues & badly needed support he only just hired. The phone is fine but the watch doesn't do as everyone expected. If regulations stopped the inclusion of health monitors expected then they should have bought some companies w/those approvals in hand. It was also really stupid that the battery wasn't put in the "bands"! The most idiotic part of the new TV box is zero support for HDMI 2 or keeping the optical out. UHD TV's have much better screens even when watching Standard definition. Yet mostly, the new box isn't compatible w:UHD wired through your surround sound system as it cuts the video down to HD! The timing of Apples Quartely reports favors the high speed brokerage trading & always damages their actual regular consumer/investor. The patterns are there for anyone that looks. Apple did best when it had an April release & an October release (needs to be September). Apples future looks very good but World issues are scary & that future they are making is 2 years away. It all boils down to the GTAT example ... no Apple oversight & unrealistic expectations of production timing (no oversight of the skill level GTAT needed to go from tests to huge mass production?) Surely that is proven as Tim being one of the best ever. Where was he? Last of all ... Beat out by ROKU?
