That should drive the share price down. Wall Street’s short-selling “Apple is doomed” crowd hate success. 

It really is absurd, isn’t it? Record quarter? Growth in China when everyone else is struggling? Apple is doomed! ߘⰟ䷦zwj;♂️

In context, Apples stock price is 30% above their stock price upon stock split in August 2020. But, their corporate bonds lost $14B since the Feds started increasing interest rates. 

Giving higher interest rates on cash will put pressure on regular banks to up their interest rates on checking and savings accounts, especially if users can transfer money into the Apple Cash account.

My cash account only is increased when I make Apple Credit Card purchases. I don't collect money in the Apple Cash account and never thought of doing that. I routinely spend the cash account down buying coffee or some other fast food. 

This apple offering is unlikely to change my spending habits. 

I'm a bit surprised that the iPhone would trigger on, say, a smooth ride. The g-forces are often continuously applied over a prolonged period in a smooth rollercoaster, whereas a crash would see high values of first, second (and third and fourth derivatives) of acceleration (jerk, snap, crackle, pop). Apple might be missing fine-enough time measures to accurately measure the changes in acceleration needed.

I have to agree with the sarcasm being posted here. It’s been too long, too many rumors, too little facts, and NOTHING from Apple. The Apple Car has become a joke, a specter, an ethereal cloud of mist. We hear endless stories of manufacturers being approached for partnerships. It’s a car, no, it’s software for a car, no, it’s an AI avocado. 

I put the Apple Car right up there with Kuo’s prediction of an Apple HDTV... any time now.

Apple is not at fault here. Growing up in a small town, I learned early in life to discount rumors until there is some confirmation from a reliable source. That's never happened regarding the supposed Apple car. 

No one should be surprised that nothing has come of the car rumors  as they have never been confirmed by any reliable source. 

If Intel builds a foundry to manufacture Apple Silicon then Intel will get Apple's business. Absent that, Intel has no chance.
