    Applecare + is a real bargain compared to dealing with an issue like this.

  • Wall Street adjusts Apple expectations after Tim Cook 'rips the Band-Aid off'

    atlappleatlapple
    BS. Thats what Tim Cook wants to do but he doesn't know how to do it proper. 

    Tim Cook so far has pandered to wall street and its disgusting. Lets see. All those stock buybacks all those dividends. Precisely because Tim Cook hopes it will help the stock. Having lunch with Carl Ichan. Trying to position Apple as something it isn't. Get rid of this fool as CEO. I am tired of his kissing wall street. All of this and the company has lost a couple of hundred billion in value. Good job. So lets see has this helped the stock? Hell NO.
    let me guess -- you're a "long-time" fan. love their products. but now you're...concerned. jobs is dead. innovation gone. did i miss anything, or is that about where you stand?
    Innovation isn't gone and no one at this point really cares if Jobs is dead. However Tim Cook isn't a very good messenger and I can't think of many companies were at least one high level member of the leadership wouldn't have taken a pounding by now after shedding over 200 billion in market cap, without any real message change. 

    The reality is Mac sales were down slightly, iPad sales continue to drop even with the introduction of the iPad Pro and Wall Street sees Apple as a one product company. Not only did Apple not meet expectations this time around I don't think they even met their own guidance.

    Loving Apple products and smart investing are in two very different categories. It's perfectly reasonable to look at Apple differently from a product and investing standpoint.

    Let me guess you're just learning to read. I made it clear in both of my posts that getting rid of optical drives made sense because there was a clear benefit. Getting rid of a 3.5mm jack has no clear benefit 
    ...that youre aware of. thats the part you keep forgetting. for some reason iHaters and trolls always feel they know everything at all times, when they dont. nobody but the team inside apple know what the benefits of such a hypothetical change would be, until they tell us.
    The fact that I am an engineer I don't alway assume or buy into Apple always knows whats best. I sometimes come to the conclusion that consumers know what they want more than Apple. Moving from a universal port to a proprietary only port makes no sense.

    Good to see Apple is going to get rid of an universal port in favor of making most users buy yet again another dongle. Unlike getting rid of optical drives in Macs there is no real space saving benefits to getting rid of a 3.5mm jack.
    Let me guess, you probably whined about Apple ditching the CD-Rom, Floppy, Legacy Ports as well?  This is about moving forward and jettison technology that is beginning to show its age.

    Is that knock on the door the 1990's wanting you to come back to them?
    Let me guess you're just learning to read. I made it clear in both of my posts that getting rid of optical drives made sense because there was a clear benefit. Getting rid of a 3.5mm jack has no clear benefit when it comes to reducing size. If you're going to comment on my posts at lease read them.

As far as making the thinnest phone ever that mean not only will it have to be thinner than the iPhone 6s it will also have to be thinner than the iPhone 6. This years model actually increased in thickness. 
    iPhone thickness generally goes down (and sometimes up) by a few tenths of millimetres each year.  The iPhone 7 would have to be 3 full millimetres thinner however to make the claim (if Apple makes it) that "the audio jack had to be removed so they could make it thinner."  

    So in that sense, almost every story on the subject you see on the web toady is incorrect since they all reference the "problem" of the audio jack in reference to being able to make the phone thinner.  Also, iPhone 7 is quite unlikely to be that thin.  It would require new battery tech or new screen tech (or both), each of which shaved a full millimetre or two off of the thickness.  

    The odds of the new iPhone even being as thin as the current iPod touch, are very small.  Even if it lost a full millimetre, it would be a huge change, the biggest in five full years, and it would still be a millimetre thicker than the current iPod touch. 
    I agree 100% which is why I see no benefit to removing the 3.5mm jack. Apple didn't even remove it from its ultra thin Macbook. Removing optical drives from Macs made sense this doesn't.
