Sigh. Just open the movie theaters. There's nothing like watching a movie in a massive IMAX 3D theater. If people are frightened they might get the rona, then just stay at home. Please, just let the rest of us who are unafraid enjoy what our acting troupes have to offer in the milieu to which we have become accustomed. 

You, and the seven people who upvoted for you, are either the epitome of selfishness and irresponsibility, incredibly ignorant, or incredibly stupid. That you don't get the reasons we're in the boat we're in, and why social distancing and mask wearing are essential right now, proves that one of those describes you all.

You're collectively a waste of good oxygen.

Well, we knew the ReTrumplicans have been salting judgeships for all they’re worth. Is she one? Those appointees will probably never admit that Donald Trump singlehandedly sunk Apple’s Holiday quarter overnight.

Aside from the guessing game about how many iPhones were sold, which is all these folks are left with now that Apple doesn’t inform them of the quarterly sales breakdown with this and other products, there’s the fact that market share is more and more a meaningless metric.The truly meaningful metric is installed base, which has been growing like Topsy for years and years.

(From Horace Deidu’s “The Pivot”) 

http://www.asymco.com/2019/05/16/the-pivot/

“The iPhone is the most successful product of all time. Over 1.6 billion have been sold. Including the iOS products it spun off, the total is over 2.2 billion. Of those 2.2 billion sold, 1.5 billion are still in use. There are about 1 billion iPhone users.”

What is guidance for this quarter and the year?

As for several quarters now, Apple has not given any guidance. Too many unknowns. Personally, I wouldn't mind if they never gave guidance again.

Apple stock at $144/share is undervalued.  It Apple stock had the same PE as Tesla its stock would be north of $350/share. 

Lol even Musk says Tesla is massively overvalued right now. 

Bad math, neruda. AAPL has a P/E after today of about 38. TSLA has a P/E of 1,642. At that P/E, Apple would have a price of (1,642/38x~140=) ~$6,049/share....

As an AAPL investor, may I say, neruda, from your lips to the Maker's ear....

Two different quotes from two different sections:

 “Research undertaken by Professor Tim Cooper has found that a product’s lifetime should, in most cases, be extended for as long as possible since roughly speaking, doubling a lifespan will halve the product’s environmental impact.189 190 Green Alliance has put some figures on specific electronic products that show how lengthening a lifespan can save carbon, energy and water consumption.191 According to a European Environmental Bureau (EEB) study (2019), extending the lifetime of all washing machines, smartphones, laptops and vacuum cleaners in the EU by one year would lead to annual savings of around four million tonnes of carbon dioxide by 2030, which is equivalent to taking over two million cars off the roads for a year.”

 “Contributors to our inquiry have argued that making repair of electrical and electronic products easier is vital to reaching a circular economy and is intrinsically linked to making more durable products. For example, the Restart Project has estimated that over 1,000 community repair events logged in its online system have saved an estimated 17,864kg of electronic waste and an estimated 280,894kg CO2 emissions.”

 It could be argued, and I so argue, that these two attributes have become mutually exclusive. Apple has made its products last far longer than average, but in doing so it made "repairing" them more difficult. Was ANY attempt to weigh the net environmental benefit vs environmental cost made? Also, while I admittedly didn't do an exhaustive study of this study, where is it quantitatively shown that Apple products and their approach are creating a more than an average contribution to the "tsunami"?

Lock-step thinking isn’t the sole provence of a particular political party, as has been starkly shown in the last couple of days. There’s no easy way to be rational, because thinking deeply and objectively is hard work. But it does seem that politicians in general are pretty lazy thinkers - or else just willing to do incredibly stupid stuff in service to a vested interest. Citizens need to take everything they say or do with a very, very large grain of salt.

Screwy. Big jump previous quarter, yes, but not last quarter.

Note reporting dates of 11/5/19 and 11/6/19.

A “big” jump in institutional ownership would be relative, btw. It’s been shockingly low.
