One way Apple could allow for 4", 4.7", and 5.5" at the same time is if they all have the same aspect ratio. It's also possible to accomplish this with sharp graphics on all displays with no extra developer work. How? Do what they do with Reti…

I am curious that they are using molds to manufacture the enclosure, when the enclosure is milled from a block of aluminum for the 5/5s. As far as I know (not very much) a mold is not needed for milling the enclosure. My take: either this mold is f…

Weird, because I see the 5c all over the place! Shows how worthless anecdotal data is, I guess.

This is bullish data. The institutional ownership "pendulum" was at the opposite end when AAPL was 700 and we should have been bearish. As an AAPL long I want to see as many shares as possible liquidated by institutions (in order to buy GOOG, TSLA, …

Funny, because the Nest acquisition was about the same (200M more expensive). So ... Google traded Motorola Mobility (paid 12.5B) for a thermostat company. Ouch.

Could someone point me to the background image for the iPad on the left?

I actually think that rjc999 makes a lot of great points - but I think they're missing the bigger picture about Apple. 1- Comparing Apple to the vertical UNIX players of old (SGI, DEC, Sun, HP, etc) before they were commoditized by Linux/x86…

I don't think this is that far-fetched. Keeping the 5 around might lead to a confusing lineup of iPhone options. I picture Phil Schiller wanting to eliminate the 5 in order to have 2 lineups of iPhones: the "Lite", and the "Jesus Phone". It also g…

Apple executives were not born yesterday. Certainly they knew there was a chance of an import ban on these products before the ruling. Given this information, I'd be blown away if they didn't fill their USA sales channels with enough product to last…

I am more convinced whenever I hear about such service outages that Apple is experiencing data center capacity issues. Horace Dediu (Asymco) often ponders why Apple is not taking more carriers online. I believe the answer is that Apple can n…
