This is so idiotic - analysts who have scant inside information make guesses on profits and revenues. If a company matches these estimates or beat it by a penny, a stock ascends wildly. In this case, Apple is under the top estimates by < 1% and i…

I honestly don't see how Apple would do a processor speed bump and a connector replacement as a hedge against Surface, which has no proven record at all. Any proof that people are lining up to buy the Surface because it is proven to be faster than…
