And you were wrong about Apple's supply chain being prepared for the coronavirus, not more so than other companies. Are you willing to admit that?

There was never any claim that Apple wouldn't be affected at all. 

Instead, I noted that Apple is well positioned to get through a temporary problem, and contrasted that with the situation for Huawei and other Android makers who are seeing not only sales disruptions, but are desperately dependent on year-round volume sales, trade shows, retail discounting, and Chinese sales to a far greater degree than Apple.  

It is impossible to argue that Apple is not prepared for crisis after turning around sales in China last year and surviving previous supply chain disasters such as the devastation in Japan. 

On the other hand, the wild media narratives of doom described in the article have been wrong, wrong, wrong over the last year. Point your waging finger where it belongs.

C'mon. The title was "Why Apple's supply chain is prepared for China's coronavirus". Not how Apple can weather sales disruptions/reductions. The supply chain. Purely the manufacturing and supplying of products.

In the editorial:

"But all that mysterious complexity serves a critically important function. It makes Apple resilient to crisis."  Again, about the supply chain, not sales. Also note the absolute of resilient.

"If there's any need to be concerned about who will be affected by any global event—including the most recent coronavirus in China—it's certainly not Apple that anyone needs to voice concerns about." This is below a large portion of text praising Apple's supply chain as magical (Japan, smelters, previous virus, the whole nine yards), clearly implying the supply chain will be unaffected, not sales.

How hard is it to admit you were wrong?

This editorial seems to have little to do with the question in the title of this editorial. "They became aware Apple is great". I mean, really, that is all? And no, linking to your own editorials is not a source to substantiate that. 

The rest is just mindless fanboy venting on the bad bad media, not remotely related to Apples altered guidance or the reaction on the stock market, as is typical for DED editorials. It could have been copy pasted from any of his editorials. I mean, what has the Galaxy Z Flip to do with this current situation for example? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
 
Oh, and if I had to answer the question in the title; there is less panic because this was expected to happen, is not happening to Apple alone and most importantly is not caused by a lack of demand as was the case last year. That last one is more reason to panic as investor. This current setback in the Chinese market and supply issues is known to be temporary.

And you were wrong about Apple's supply chain being prepared for the coronavirus, not more so than other companies. Are you willing to admit that?

Well, this DED editorial hasn’t aged well: https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/02/10/why-apples-supply-chain-is-prepared-for-chinas-coronavirus

I would prefer AppleInsider not posting DED editorials.

Does the truth offend you?

The relentless Android/Samsung schadenfreude is becoming rather tiresome.

It would be like going to a Ferrari fan forum and reading constant Tesla put-down editorials.

Not that it should matter, but I love my iPhone 6s and iPad Pro 10.5. I like Apple. This is why I visit AppleInsider for some time now. I do not like the DED editorials, they are the most blatant form of blind fanboyism. If other tech sites would post these kind of editorials I would comment the same. I am not a Android/Samsung fanboy for simply finding these editorials tasteless. This is not a sports game.

Nope, I dont mind at all. I passionately dislike Android and I dont mind reading about its failures from time to time. I dont visit any Android forums, so I have no other way to hear about the most recent Android fiascos, and there is no shortage of those.

What is tiring is when Fandroids come to an Apple forum to bash Apple. You dont really see any Apple fans doing the opposite, because why would they ever want to visit an Android forum?

We all know who the most hateful and delusional fans are, and its not Apple fans.

Well, luckily you admit you are just assuming based on nothing. Makes it easier to dismiss.

I was so happy that the editorials of DED stopped appearing for some time. Sad to see them back again. 

Well I live to make trolls sad.

Not everyone being negative towards your editorials is a troll. Calling everyone a troll is more a defense mechanism on your part to quickly dismiss these comments.

Just wanted to keep AppleInsider know that I would not miss these editorials. If I wanted to see them, I would go to your own website. Just my feedback.
