Sounds entirely like a fabricated story to elevate TW's asking price.

I don't like it. And CNBC didn't spend much time on it this morning. The stock is basically flat this morning so it doesn't seem like Wall Street is taking seriously.

I never understood the bullishness around Xiaomi becoming a services company. How many companies are profitable selling cheap hardware? And what we're all these services Xiaomi was going to make money off of to cover the cheap hardware?

Complain, complain, complain. Is that all you people know how to do? Is it really such a pain for you to simply learn something new?

I'm looking forward to using these new functions on my 6+. Personally, we earn iTunes gift cards when we use our Barclaycard (via Apple Pay, of course) to purchase Apple products. It would be handy to redeem them via my phone.

3D touch will become more and more relevant the more developers use it. So why bloody not shouldn't Apple be the first to implement and promote it?

You've got the wrong end of the stick entirely. He's saying that Apple's putting shortcuts for their financial gain above ease of use for the user.

So a shortcut for redeeming gift cards isn't use of use for end user? I would imagine Apple has a good idea of what thinks people do most in their stock apps.

oh and speaking of that quarter. What ever happened to the holiday quarter? Skipped that result have we?

It's called moving the goalposts. And that's why Apple is perpetually doomed. If they're wrong about March they'll just say well June's going to be bad; if they're wrong about June the'll just push the bad news to September. We'll get the typical response we always do after a great quarter; it's not about the past it's about the future and the future is always bleak.

This note just shows what a herd mentality there is on Wall Street. One minute Munster says you can't read anything into supply-chain reports, the next Piper Jaffray is lowering iPhone estimates because of these same supply chain reports. Does Munster really believe believe people aren't buying the 6S because it doesn't have a sapphire screen? He thinks a 3D Touch will replace the home button even though there have been zero rumors about that and zero evidence that Apple is ready to integrate Touch ID into the display? There is not one Wall Street analysts who has provided a compelling reason why 6S sales are soft but 7 sales won't be.
