  • Kanye West won't release 'Donda 2' on 'oppressive' Apple Music or Spotify

    The Stem Player is a great idea.

    Problem is, you don’t need hardware for it. Apple could announce the feature tomorrow with great support.

    Not sure why Kanye is being a di** to Apple who is very pro-artist and supported him so much.

  • Five Galaxy S22 Ultra features which should be on the iPhone

    BeatsBeats
    Like how Apple should have had other Sammy “innovations” like wave to answer and the other 100 features Sammy abandoned.


    NO

    Also, Apple doesn’t have to give away VR goggles, 55” TVs and a fridge for you to buy their products.

    Apple's pricing in the US is relatively better than other countries.
    Apple prioritises their product for the US market.
    Apple is a American company.
    Elsewhere Android based phones is king, in many countries by a wide margin.

    Everyone wants an iPhone, not everyone can have one. iPhone is king in a few countries (Japan more than the U.S.)  but you can’t expect Apple to be #1 in Uganda when you can get a knockoff for 10th the price.

    Time to sell all AAPL shares. Apple is doomed. It can’t POSSIBLY grow any more. It’s about to go out of business. 

    That’s what your financial advisor will tell you. 

    I hope everyone is smarter than that. 
    Bitter, resentful comments like this have been on this board for years. But has anyone actually produced a quote from a reputable analyst or mainstream news source that has said anything like this in over 10 years?

    Please, do not cite people claiming "a specific Apple product is likely to struggle" (which happened with the iPhone 12 Mini, HomePod and Apple TV) or "Apple wll face competition" (as they do because no single product - not even the Apple Watch - enjoys 50% market share and most have less than 1/3 share) as "Apple is doomed." 

    Apple has had around 50% domestic market share and 15% global market share for the iPhone since around 2012. It isn't 2005 anymore where Apple had 3% PC market share with the bulk of their revenue coming from iPods and iTunes (on Windows!) downloads. At some point this victimization act that Apple fans put on has to end. 


    Everyone was going crazy when Tim warned Apple may not have a record-breaking quarter. That was about 2 years ago?

    Everyone was laughing at Apple and saying the iPhone was too expensive that’s why Cook warned investors. Really stupid.
    To be fair to Cook, since Apple is a publicly traded company, he had to give a 'heads up' to any possible problems even.  Have you looked at the stock market?  The average investor has no clue and tends to panic.
    I know. But it was overblown as “Apple is doomed” everywhere. I remember the “doomed” quarter was Apple’s 2nd biggest ever at the time.
