Good news for anyone looking for an iPhone X. We’ll find out next month from Apple’s forecast how much of this is increased supply vs decreased demand. As a shareholder I’m hoping the former. 

Apple hasn’t modified their previous guidance, and with only three weeks left in the quarter I would expect revenue will be at least their $84 billion low end estimate.

If there were a demand problem, they would have backed down off their guidance for a record breaking quarter. Personally I wouldn’t be surprised if they beat.

Steve was rather vocal about users of Apple devices being able to avoid being exposed to porn, so perhaps this is still just Apple being Apple.

Hollywood is already stifled with political correctness which has morphed into SJW nonsense and people are tuning out. 

What does this mean? 

I’m not sure what website these SJW complainers hail from, but it’s nonsense as far as I can tell. It seems to mean “I enjoy my current privileged status, but I don’t want anyone else to have it, because for them to have some, I must lose some of mine.”

I’m happy to block anyone who spouts that SJW complaint crap because I’ve noticed they all just parrot the same idiotic talking points that someone’s programmed into them. There’s never an original thought to be found. 

I don’t disagree that the new Apple TV 4K is “worth it” at $179/199, but I think Apple is missing a big strategic opportunity re: positioning/pricing.

I really wish they’d added a low end box (A9/16GB?) at maybe $69 or $79 and make up any initial loss with iTunes revenue. Just a simple 4K upgrade to the 3rd gen, no aspirations to be anything other than a 4K upgrade (ie no gaming). 

I guess maybe they figured they’re too late, with Roku (and Amazon and Google to a lesser extent) already too well established wrt market/mind share, to do what they did with the $329 iPad, the $159 AirPods and even the watch at $249:  completely remove all available oxygen, leaving almost no room for competitors on price and subsequently, own the space.
