  • UBS sees record 75M holiday iPhone sales driven by Apple's lower priced models

    "Citing the latest data from Consumer Intelligence Research Partners, UBS analyst Steven Milunovich.."

    Is using Milunovich and 'Intelligence' in the same sentence a 'contradiction', 'oxymoron' or just a joke ?
    He is no friend of AAPL. He is more wrong than right and his AAPL targets have more ups and downs than a yo-yo.

  • Tim Cook, Apple employees volunteer at San Jose elementary school for MLK Day

    Nice gesture. How many people of color on the Apple board, again? 
    How long did it take you to become so smug and snarky? Or are you just so tired of seeing CEO's of huge corporations being charitable or rolling up their sleeves to do something in their communities. /s

    The community should be grateful to Cook and the Apple employees that took part in this. It might also temper your remarks to remind you that Cook is one of the wealthy CEOs who have pledged nearly all their fortunes to charitable causes.

  • Apple A9 chip fab TSMC reports record earnings, casting further doubt on 'Peak iPhone'

    teejay2012teejay2012
    I read the Bloomberg report about an hour BEFORE reading DED's article. I am wondering in what exact realm of reality was DED in when he wrote this glowing report about TSMC when the Bloomberg report was referenced. The Bloomberg report is an extremely dire report that offers very little light. Even though TSMC had a profit of NT$72.8 billion, which beat the NT$68.5 billion projected by 26 analysts, Bloomberg made it clear the fourth-quarter net income fell 9%. Bloomberg did not give nearly an inch of good news. Unless there was another version of this story, I am surprised how DED was able to find sweet lemonade from the lemons dished out by Tim Culpin of Bloomberg! And, even though TSMC supplies chips to other companies, ONLY Apple is the cause of TSMC's weakness according to Bloomberg.
    I too was a bit surprised by the negative slant by Bloomberg given that TMSC was in line or ahead of estimates, including guidance for Q1. It suggests that analysts were all expecting a fall in revenue, but that the fall was not as much as predicted. Perhaps analysts were expecting much more weakness in TMSC numbers because of the other supply chain reports. Bottom line is that iPhone sales likely did not decline last quarter but they will not increase much for next quarter. I give Bloomberg report a 8/10 yawn score - more fodder for analyst to manipulate AAPL.
    I read the Korean report which Bloomberg used and the original report is much more positive for TMSC and iPhone components. It concludes with "Liu said that TSMC is expected to continue to outperform the entire IC industry with its revenue likely to rise 5-10 percent in the year, adding that smartphone chips are expected to serve as a driver of TSMC's sales growth. " This seems to be Bloomberg crap looking to find the negative story for AAPL - hardly a surprise.

    I was hoping someone would have hired Daniel Dilger to write the screenplay. Of course the movie would have been 6 hours long, but we would have seen the parts they left out, like where Jobs invented the polio vaccine and was the first man on the moon.
    Funny. We really could have used your version with Jobs stealing the iPhone designs from Eric Schmidt and then having to fire him from the Apple board to keep him quiet. And how Samsung tried to block Google as they felt this was stealing, but they were forced to produce their iPhone copies to keep North Korea from attacking the US.
