  • Tariffs and analysts: What to expect from Apple's Q3 2025 earnings

    For long term, AAPL will be fine. I consider AAPL Coca Cola of the 21st Century. Cash (flow) machine with strong balance sheet, but no stellar growth. 
    AAPL will then be like having a bond. Microsoft performed like that under Ballmer. I really prefer for Apple to innovate and create great solutions. All this penny-pinching, designing for things to be sticky, and court cases are not where I prefer to see Apple. Creating insanely great products that people will buy should do.

    Tariffs are federal taxes on efficiency. Republicans have decided that for government to tip the scales on business decisions is best for US. Weird but true.

    This quarter is the end of what used to be normal. It is the beginning of something new but it will take years for us to see the full impact. Feeling sorry for the team at Apple.
    Apple needs to continue to make the best products in class in comparison to its competitors and just keep going/iterating, when you look at Japan, Korea, Taiwan and China over the years they just keep iterating. They don’t stop and rest on their laurels and say job done they just keep going and that’s what Apple needs to do, don’t make the mistake Intel, Motorola, Xerox, Kodak, and IBM made and take a siesta.

    This year has not been an amazing year for Apple so far. 
    Apple is the worst performer among Magnificant 7. 

    Normally, AAPL goes down after their earnings. 
    I don´t know how AAPL will perform after earnings and in the rest of this year.

    For long term, AAPL will be fine. I consider AAPL Coca Cola of the 21st Century. Cash (flow) machine with strong balance sheet, but no stellar growth. 

    Apple goes down before and after earnings reports, and they’re always doomed irregardless of what they do. Apple, as usual, will slowly crawl back up until the next round of they are doomed comes up. Like clockwork since 1998.

  • Apple hits back at DOJ antitrust suit paragraph by paragraph in scathing response

    Answering line by line seems childish. Fighting to keep everything closed when some are known to work with larger populations in more countries is a hard sell. It makes Apple look greedy towards US consumers and out of step with the Trump administration. 

    Cook should rethink his approach to regulation. This won’t help the brand or give him friends.


    Since when do you not answer in court line by line when judges and lawyers are involved that’s the only thing they understand? And if you don’t answer everything up front at the trial/appeal, those very same lawyers/judges (ie..vultures) say well why didn’t you bring up that point during the proceedings,…

  • Apple's AI brain drain continues as fourth researcher goes to Meta

    I don’t know anyone so loyal that a $200M sign in bonus won’t sway them. We’re not talking about a 20% salary increase here. This is lifechanging money.

    Do you really think Zuckerberg is going to pay or live up to the $200 million payday? What’s the catch? Think about it: 200 million is almost half of what Apple paid for the Next computer, which cost $404 million. This is an example of an out-of-control owner-founder CEO who’s spending money like a drunken sailor.

    So far, this drunken CEO is tens of billions of dollars in the hole with his AI and VR projects, and there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight. And by the way, if you’re still putting together or hiring people at this point, you definitely don’t have any solutions that are better than any of the competition, including Apple.

    Good riddance. Loyalty means something, and Apple doesn't need anyone non-committed filling its ranks.


    Loyalty to a company that can fire you at any minute at will?
    One could say that about a king or a would be king from a historical standpoint, hmm….
