  • Apple's AI ambitions go beyond Siri LLM with Knowledge chatbot and always-on AI copilot

    gmgravytraingmgravytrain
    I don't think Apple is wrong about keeping quiet about future plans, but meanwhile other tech companies are bragging about their future plans and investors are just throwing money at them.  Most investors won't touch Apple with a ten-foot pole, as they say Apple is a huge A.I. laggard and can't do anything right.  Either that, or investors feel their money will be better off going to the companies spending huge amounts of money on A.I. infrastructure.  I honestly don't understand all this A.I. hype.  So far, I don't see A.I. currently making this world a better place to live.  All I see are massive layoffs and A.I. data center energy usage, which will speed up climate change.

    A.I. is still in its early stages, and so what if Apple has fallen behind.  It's not as if they can't possibly catch up to other tech companies.  The future isn't written in stone.  I don't care if Apple isn't at the very top of tech.  Second or third place isn't that bad.

  • Sketchy guesswork says Apple will take $4 billion hit to App Store revenue after Epic batt...

    gmgravytraingmgravytrain
    Epic lawsuit, POTUS tariffs, and lack of A.I. has hammered Apple's share price significantly.  If good things come in threes, then so do bad things.  Apple took the worst beating of all the Mag 7 stocks, by a wide margin.  Why did Apple have to get singled out in the tariff conflict?  Being punished for building iPhones in another country and exporting them here is unfair.  Many companies do that, including Tesla with their vehicles.  Oh, well... We have the rest of the year ahead of us and hopefully, Apple will be able to recover somewhat.  Apple is a great company, and they'll figure out something to get investors back.

  • Apple stock hammered for third consecutive market day, falls on news of more tariffs

    gmgravytraingmgravytrain
    Fair-weather investors certainly frighten easily.  I wonder if most of Apple's investors buy shares on margin and that's why they're desperate to dump their shares.  I'm not concerned as long as Apple is buying back plenty of shares on the cheap.  I'm eagerly waiting for the number of outstanding shares to fall below 15B.  I've owned my shares for over 20 years, and I'm not selling.  I'll ride this downturn as I did all the previous downturns, and I expect Apple to recover at some point.  I'm retired, and I don't live paycheck to paycheck.  My passive income isn't being affected by this tariff panic.  Hopefully, things will calm down later this year.  Many people were saying Warren Buffett was a fool for dumping a large chunk of his Apple stock, but Berkshire Hathaway now has plenty of cash to buy any stocks they choose.  Tim Cook has plenty of work to do to restructure the Apple supply chain.  I wish him the best of luck.  Wall Street may have given up on Apple, but I haven't.  I'm not smart enough to understand all of this tariff stuff, but I hope Apple is able to find ways to lessen the damage.

  • Apple shares hammered after Trump tariff announcement

    gmgravytraingmgravytrain
    I just hope Apple is repurchasing shares while the stock is down.  I'm not worried about the share price being down, because I expect it to recover later in the year.  I can accept investors being frightened and selling Apple.  I know Apple has some very weak-kneed investors, and I hope they leave Apple and never return.  Fair weather investors are rather undependable.

  • Folding iPhone will probably cost more than the Mac Studio

    gmgravytraingmgravytrain
    Foldable smartphones aren't selling that well, and they're still somewhat fragile.  Some people are always asking for an Apple foldable smartphone but I'm sure they're very few like those who people who kept asking for mini smartphones.  There weren't many buyers of mini smartphones, so they were discontinued.  It's up to Apple to design and sell foldable smartphones, but if they don't sell well, Wall Street is going to complain about Apple wasting money.  I don't want a foldable smartphone because I prefer having a tough slab of a smartphone as a reliable daily driver.  If it does cost $2000, I doubt many people will buy one, and it will become another Apple Vision Pro-type product.  The vocal pundits will label it a flop.
