I'd like to better understand how they bypass repatriation taxes by buying up corporate bonds of foreign companies. They buy it with foreign reserves... ok... but then the bonds pay back in USD? Wouldn't they pay back in the foreign currency and …

So if wall street expects sales in the 42-45 million range then why is this idiot saying anything under 60m will be a disappointment? http://247wallst.com/consumer-electronics/2015/04/17/did-apple-sell-60-million-iphones/ "analysts".... There's …

"Basically, the industry is saying Apple is not focusing on the things that really matter to consumers." They're wrong. Just like they were wrong when they said Apple needed to race to the bottom of cost to fight all the Android cheap smartphones …

"and all but eliminate storage anxiety with iOS devices" Only if you want to pay for it. 32 dies on a new type of packaging will cost way more then 32x the price. Of course that will go down over time but don't expect an iPhone with 256GB to be c…

Unfortunately the fact that so many funds have hit their limit on the amount of AAPL shares they can own means the stock will be challenged moving forward. No matter how well the company does going forward those funds can't buy more and thus this p…

They did it with maps and they'll do it again. It's only natural that they focus on their products first. Any forays into competitors' products usually end up slowly degrading until you can point at the product and say.. but this version on their …

[QUOTE] If Android phones make up 84% of the smartphone market, and Qualcomm chips seem to be in the vast majority of those devices, they're still selling a s**tload more chips than Apple, right?[/QUOTE] The vast majority of the low end devices spo…

Apple Pay needs a web API to really really dominate payments IMHO. Apple should come out with an API where supporting web checkout carts can query your phone/pad/keyboard/mouse for fingerprint payment. I really don't want to install an app from …

12% drop on news of an Apple patent that wasn't even real? Doesn't sound like manipulation to me... sounds like a bubble popping. Bigger.. bigger.. bigger... then for no reason at all.. POP!

Keep in mind that this will increase the stack height of the camera and thus either make the phone thicker or make the camera protrusion (as in 6, 6s) even bigger. Just a data point for those making predictions.. better factor their design aestheti…

I'm dumping right before the quarter personally. They can beat hard and still get hammered. It's happened so many times before. A great quarter is a given and not likely to affect the stock price. Nobody seriously thinks Apple didn't have a grea…
