"I am an analyst. I can easily make Apple phone sales underperform expectations. Gather 'round and behold my magic trick. I predict that Apple will sell a million bajillion iPhones this quarter. [waits for actual figures] There? You see? Apple underperformed my expectations. Voila!"

Not entirely shocking when you consider the 5c.

Apple's single iPhone 5c model was one of the top most successful smartphone designs created and sold in 2013.

Apple's iPhone XR will be one of the top most successful smartphone designs created and sold in 2018.

I guess Apple will be removing a lot of music from Apple Music because it deals with adult language and themes.

And also they will be taking down a lot of games from the app store because they have violent adult images and themes.

I look forward to the rebranding of the company, Apple Jr.

One of the reasons that this is golden age of TV, is that showrunners have a bit more ability to express their voice. That's what I want from a show, to be told a story from somebody's POV. 

If Apple can deliver that, respect artists, AND it's family-friendly, great. 

Is it not embarrassing for him to be wrong yet again lowballing expectations for a product that will without a doubt turn out to be highly successful?

I'd bet my Apple stock on it.

That's the thing about a trade war... there can be unforeseen escalation and casualties. 

I get the goals of wanting fairer trade and encouraging manufacturing jobs in the USA... but will this trade war accomplish any of that? Personally I'm deeply skeptical.
