Zhang from Rosenblatt on MSNBC kept correcting questions about Apple's "wearables" as "Airpods" like that's all they think the wearables are. Forget the whole Apple Watch thing. 
Tim always promises there's an amazing pipeline and for once, he might be right... the Macbook Air is doing well, the Watch is doing well, I suspect the Mac Pro will do well, and while analysts keep talking about Services = AppleCare, I don't think Apple's streaming will fail. It has potential to at least match Netflix which is values at $145 billion. 
And then there's the AR glasses. Still believe they're coming....

Sorry, way too light. Balance of probability, this won't deter others from trying this.

I'm so sick of the Tim Cook era, where every product redesign comes with a substantial price increase over previous model. When Steve was there, products got better at the same price points (e.g. MBP--->unibody MBP), or even were less expensive at the same time (e.g. polycarbonate iMac--->aluminum iMac).

Aren't all the headlines lately talking about how the updated MacBook Pro 13 has updated, better specs for LESS money? Even Mac-hating Verge spoke positively about it.

It is a no brainer that this model will outsell the top of the line XS and XS Max, because it is well, I was going to say affordable, but let's revise that to less expensive. The question is how much better is it selling than the premium phones Apple makes? A lot of people are willing to just run up the credit card and get the best thing out there. Status I guess.

God I'm sick and tired of people making judgments about people based on how they want to spend their money. If you're happy with the XR and thinks it great value and fits your needs, then I'm absolutely happy for you. Also happy for people who see the value in the XS and want to spend the extra money on that (either on their credit card or not). Everyone makes a personal judgment call on every dollar they spend and nobody, here or elsewhere, has any right to infer anything from those choices. Sorry for the rant, just knew these comments would be coming. 

I sometimes worry that the Jobs Distortion Field will outlast his real contributions. It's still impacting people.
