Jony Ive designed the royal emblem for King Charles' coronation
Not sure how that ties in. I was thinking more of the 'luck' aspect.Hedware said:

And yes, I know, the Republic of Ireland is not part of the UK. I don't think I said it was.

Tim Cook: iPhone manufacturing shortfall main reason for earnings miss
Yeah. I'm waiting for an iPhone 1x mini.JP234 said:Well, in a quarter by quarter stock market, a supply constraint can be damaging to a stock's price. But with an intensely loyal user demographic, it should present no long term damage to Apple's stock price. No one is going to migrate to Samsung just because he'd have to wait a month or so to get an iPhone upgrade. Certainly not me. Although I'm not due for an upgrade until the iPhone 15 Pro. And if I have to wait 9 months or more, I'll continue to use my 11 Pro until then.
My first smartphone was a cheap Android that came with a prepaid TracFone account. Never again. Never. Again. Not for cheap, not for free.
I used my original SE for 4-5 years until the 12 mini came out. I can wait another few until they revisit the mini form factor.
Ain't buying a phone that won't fit in my pocket...

Tim Cook: iPhone manufacturing shortfall main reason for earnings miss
Why do they call it "earnings miss" or "failed to meet expectations"?
Apple is just working on doing what they do, making great devices and providing innovative services.
Call it what it is. The prognosticators are pretty lame at making predictions.
Maybe a better benchmark would be how many (or few) employees were laid off?
