This makes perfect sense, usually when Apple is doing well stock price goes down, now after months of hearing about the failure of the iPhone X stock price rises.

even though "you can put all their products on a dining room table." 

Not everyone has a dining room table that could hold even the 50 odd million iPhones recently sold, never mind all their products.

Can you clarify and explain? 

Well all *unaccelerated* motion is relative. The laws of physics are the same in all inertial (not accelerating) reference frame. If you're on a plane travelling at a constant 600km/hour with no turbulence then then your iPhone cannot tell if you have a velocity relative to when you were waiting in line at the airport. The gps can calculate your velocity but that's not a 'sensor', in the sense that we use the word for an iPhone, like a heart rate sensor which senses either an electric pulse shining a light through your finger to read the variation in colour as the blood pulses through or via other means. An aeroplane has a pitot tube to measure the air speed nothing like that on the phone. I guess the accelerometer could measure steps and approximate a velocity, but there's no 'velocity sensor' as such.

Bad Apple stealing camera technology, at least they can pay for it from the proceeds of their Samsung suit. Regarding the other one, obviously pure bullshit. BTW a 'velocity sensor' on a phone is a violation of Einstein's special relativity. Accelerometer, yes, 'velocity sensor', no. 

There is no comparison between now and then because Apple is now operating in a market the likes of which has never  been seen in the past. The Earth has truly become a global village and Apple has been largely responsible for it's exponential growth and will forever remain, even if their domination diminished, a huge player.

It does have excellent grammar correction.
