    Hasn't epic heard they can now set up their own store in Korea and sell at whatever price they like.
    Yes that’s why they are asking Apple to reinstate them so they can sell in the South Korean market . So unless Apple is able to make a legal case against the law they either have to reinstate Epic or leave the South Korean market.
    An absolutely reasonable 3rd option may be to pay the fine for non-compliance and build that fee into the cost of Apple equipment pricing in South Korea.

    Not sure why a translation for the Welsh phrase wasn't included in the article. Google translate:

    I also looked it up with Google Translate before jumping to the comments. 🤣

    all these non tesla companies are so far behind in ev technology. i hope apple takes powertrain design and much of the manufacturing processes into its own hands.
    I see a lot of EVs and very few are Teslas.

    'Behind' or not, those other brands are outselling Teslas by a huge margin.

    My sister-in-law has a Hyundai ioniq 100% electric and no desire to upgrade to a Tesla. Her next car may be the ioniq 5 or an Xpeng.

    What part of the world are you in that you never see Tesla’s?  

    Living in the Midwest I’ve seen a couple Ford Mustang Mach-E but apart from that everything is Tesla and the sightings grow month by month.  Vacationing in Hawaii in June it seemed like every  20th car on the road was a Tesla.

    And AAPL after hour trading drops over 1%. What kind of WS bullshit is that?
    As always, Wall Street doesn’t care about what you did today, it’s about what it thinks you will do in the future. And the Covid-19 delta variant has thrown a monkey wrench into the financial crystal ball, all because 50% of the population are dumb, ignorant morons. There’s also a study out that reveals 1-in-5 believe the vaccines contain microchips. That means 20% of the population are certified idiots.
    I'm long into AAPL since 2011. This dip happens more often than not after earnings. I'm happy to see the earning reaction dip is smaller than it usually is.

    I see nothing in this report to make me reconsider my long position in AAPL. Except that my Financial Advisor tells me I own too much AAPL. It's not my fault it has 20x-ed while the rest of my portfolio has plodded along at more or less average returns. Probably should rebalance my holdings one day, but my Spidey sense says today is not that day.
    Some of us since 1998 :D
    Or at least early 2009, only 50.5x here.

  • House antitrust legislation has more bark than bite, analyst says

    Why on earth doesn’t the last paragraph actually state his 12-month price target for AAPL?  Doing back of the envelope math it appears to be around $203.72/share but why make us do math problems with thirteen digit numbers? 

    I’ll gladly take a 50% increase in value over the next year, though I find it unlikely.  We should already be well above $133.98, but we aren’t so not expecting value to be rational twelve months from now.
