This is beyond absurd. China is the second large economy in the world (some even suggest they are the largest), they need to shake off their miserable past and be a grown up man. They have to ask what rule they want to play and how engage they want to be with the world. Apple has done everything in their power to be as friendly to them as possible. What possible benefits they could get by doing this stupid thing to Apple. The central propaganda organization needs to put a stop on this. Whatever reputation they have earned are being damaged left and right. Don’t be as stupid as Trump government.

this is a perfect time to buy Apple stock if you are a long term investor. The more Apple’s stock falls the better investment. And Apple and Microsoft are not competing in the same area (except surface vs iPad), so good for both companies. For Apple to win, Apple needs to produce insanely great products, which last time I check Apple is doing exactly that. I will give a sime example, one day I was on my iMac, and I was looking at an email on my iPhone, and wanted to copy something from my iPhone to search on the iMac. So I select on the iPhone and copy, and then go to the iMac and do a paste. I then just realized how crazy that is. I am stunned that it even works at all. From a machine to another machine instantaneously. Also I am using a 2018 iPad 6th Gen bought on Black Friday for $249, a steal. Wall Street always has this deep uneasy about Apple. Well, there is not much Apple can do other than creating more great products. I will keep buying their products, and if God willing, let the stock fall a bit more so I can buy more Apple stocks as well as their own buy back.

Just like paying tax. They should share some level of basic data, not all, not all the details. 

7/11 is also now accepting Apple Pay. Huge huge huge.

Doesn't bother me. Unit sales is just another number those fucking useless analysts use to try and manipulate Apple stock.

You hit it right on the noggin!

Prime example is the stock being tanked after-hours... They made more money than anyone else, WITHIN their target guidance from last quarter, but because it didn't meat the asinine "predictions" of Wall Scum, they are punishing Apple. Take this out of the equation and just give the financials, maybe this will improve things for the better!

The tanking is related to guidance. 

It dropped an additional 1-2% after Luca announced no more unit sales data.

Good. If it dropped back to pre-Q3 level then I can buy some more shares on the cheap. Warren Buffett will probably buy more too. And Apple itself can buy back more shares too. It is a win-win-win situation. Short term pain of course.
