  • Lead times suggest Pacific Blue iPhone 12 Pro models are most popular

    dedgeckodedgecko
    Actually, it just means Apple didn’t anticipate well enough for the demand of these particular models. If 100 people want it, but Apple made 5 and it took X number of weeks to deliver one of them... that does not compare well to the 100000 of the regular iPhone 12 that Apple cranks out every two days.  It’s not even a valid data point for anything other than - Apple is supply constrained for whatever reason on those models.

    Apple will tell us sometime next quarter or next year what is the most popular model. Just like they do every years.

  • Tips and tricks for mastering the iPad Pro Magic Keyboard

    The fact that you can plug a USB accessory into the Magic Keyboard ultimately means that the smart connector is actually a USB connector (or has USB capabilities,) which opens up a ton of possibilities.
    The USB-C port on the Smart Keyboard is power only. You can not plug anything and expect it to transmit data to the iPad through it. Apple states as such in their user guide for it.

    What AI is pointing out is that you can run power through the keyboard and use the USB-C on the iPad for other accessories.

  • Panicked selling of AAPL lets Apple buy back billions cheaply

    Apple seems to act like a national bank, buying its currency to keep devaluation low.
    I think this situation shows that it is not wise to be dependent on one area and country for your products.
    A company like Tesla is doing it the modern way, positioning its production in several distinct areas in the words (the U.S.A. being one of them) to combat all sorts of problems concerning one area.
    I would adapt Apples policy regarding this immediately and start building factories on US soil immediately, using the 100 billion or so for this years share buybacks that are effectively the same as burning the money.
    Apple should think big again, maybe look at Tesla what that means.
    Apple has been doing this longer and better than $TSLA. This strategy is long-term, decades out. 

    DED, you sure do bring out the crazies.

  • Credit Suisse boosts AAPL price target by 25% but remains neutral on shares

    Go look and see what Horace Dediu has been posting on Twitter about stock prices for Apple...  The only ones to pay attention to is Neil Cybert and Horace... the rest are noise, some criminally.

  • Apple to open office in Vancouver's new 400 West Georgia tower

    dedgeckodedgecko
    Vancouver, BC, Canada?  Or Vancouver, WA, USA?  They are within hours of each other, and easily confusing to speak of without the correct context. 

    I presume its BC, given the mention of Toronto. Just asking for the sake of clarity and to avoid giving Bloomberg any free clicks.
