    How wacky: the price of AAPL went up 2% late in the day before the announcement and dropped 2% after the good news.  Oh well, must be that old "buy on the rumor, sell on the news" thing.
    It's the lack of guidance that makes investors uneasy. People are looking for a light at the end of the tunnel and didn't get one. 

    Shorts are pissed because no guidance makes their Short game that much more unlikely to be profitable.

    Apple ARM Macbook Pro; count me in. I have confident that when Apple releases ARM based MAC, performance will be if not better than on par with Intel/AMD offerings.Not only that but Apple will have long term plan for foreseeable future. .On software, long as major titles are ported, rest will follow fast.

    Count me out. Projects like this are a complete waste of resources.

    I love iMacs. Would love to see 1TB SSD standard now. And retina on all models. Maybe smaller bezels but not important.

    We have over $3500 burning a hole in our pocket for a new iMac.
    Want:
    1. larger size than 27
    2. double the resolution
    3. SSD only

    Larger than 27" and double the resolution? We already have 5k iMacs, doubling the resolution won't make a difference unless you mean very large screens when you mentioned larger than 27”.
    Why do you care if an iMac is not SSD only? People are always harping about choice so why force something you want on a user who doesn’t want or need what you do? Of course you can order an SSD only iMac today so what’s the problem? And double the resolution? The iMac is 5K but you want 10K? How does that even work?
    Non-SSD’s are only good for external storage.  
    Blathering nonsense. Internal spinning hard drives are perfectly fine for most people and it’s why Apple still offers them. You don't need blinding electronic speed to send an email, play some music, and store photos. Yours is the same false argument used by the 5G crowd. Most people don’t need 5G speeds any time soon, especially on a mobile phone.

    Stop pretending to speak for most people. 1 TB NVMe SSD that is replaceable has a wide range of performance/price options that should be the default for all systems now. And yes, RAID DISC layer drives is where they are strong, ala NAS/SAN, etc.

    What a shame Goldman. If I were Apple I would punish them after giving them the opportunity to manage the most innovative card in history.

    Fire this bozo or end this contract.

    This is why I miss Steve.
    “Innovative...”

    It’s old technology. Pull Tim Cook’s meat tit out of your mouth.

    Ummm... maybe Goldman Sachs didn’t see the $18 coasters Apple is going to sell for $700 to the hundreds of millions of Mac Pro owners...
    Perfect time to buy buy buy...
    Hundreds of million? 5,000 at best.

    The only one fantasizing about someone else's phallus is you. Goldman has a 4:1 Put to Call ratio on Apple. It's in their best interest to drive the price of the stock down towards their pre-defined price of the Put.
