  • J.P. Morgan trims Apple stock target to $230 citing iPhone & Services weaknesses

    MassiveAttackMassiveAttack
    It shows that Apple is and will always be an iPhone company. Their service growth is maybe 10% ~ 11%. 
    Their iPhones get uglier with 17 series. 
    Apple fails to convince consumers why they should upgrade their phones regularly. Their Apple Watch series have no major improvements. It is really a huge disappointment that Apple Watch X did not get any huge improvements for the 10th anniversay. 
    Siri is a fail. I bet Siri will not be ready next spring. 
    Apple Intelligence is rather Apple Incomeptence with Genmoji bulls*its. 
    In any departments, you get news about delays. 
    Tim Cook... Sure that he is still the right guy? His mismanagement needs to be punished.

    I would not be surprised if AMZN and GOOG(L) surpasses AAPL sooner or later in terms of the market cap. 

    AAPL investors must be frustrated while NVDA, META, MSFT heading to ATH. 

    Tim Cook needs to step down. He makes Apple just.... rotten Apple.

  • Apple wants total control over distributing films like 'F1'

    It's worth pointing out that the Services Division has been the fastest growing business unit at Apple since before the pandemic.

    It's important to remember that Apple views itself primarily as a software company: one whose software and services run best on their own proprietary hardware.

    Remember that things like Apple TV and Apple Music run on hardware other than Apple's own devices. A lot of the hardware categories that Apple is involved in are saturated in industrialized nations. There's more growth potential in emerging markets.

    It's also worth pointing out that something like F1 has worldwide appeal, not like Nascar which is basically limited to North America.

    There's precedent in someone taking more control in film distribution. Taylor Swift did it with her Eras Tour film, bypassing the studios and film distribution network by negotiating with the major theater chains. That means the studios and distributors got shut out of a revenue cut which is where most of your movie ticket goes (the theaters actually get very little, their profitability is mostly from concessions -- that pricey tub of popcorn and soda).

    Taylor Swift steamrolled the competition and the handful of studio releases that happened around the Eras Tour film release got crushed at the box office. It was a mic drop moment for the film industry. Along with her re-recorded releases of many of her earlier albums shows the entertainment industry that artists having more control over business strategies can work.

    Clearly Apple took note of this. Hell, she's the one who convinced Apple to change their streaming royalty system to more fairly serve the artists.
    I see your point. F1 gets more popular with F1 drivers as influencers on Instagram. It attracts younger audience.
    However, I think Apple needs to set some other topics as higher priorities. 
    I hear from Apple employees that all departments get spendings cut.. Well....

    Yawn.. While other Mag 6 companies promote and attract investors with AI-driven products, Apple comes up with dead Hollywood which has been dead since Netflix.

    Tim Cook rather hangs out with Hollywood celebrities while Jensen Huang meets politicians of all nations to promote Nvidia´s future.

    Doesn´t Apple have anything better to do except promoting a movie, which pops up in my wallet?

  • iPhone Fold mass production now expected to start in summer 2026

    I’ll believe this when I see it, I can’t see apple producing such a niche product which nobody has been able to make profitable unless they have found a way to make a foldable screen that doesn’t look crap. 
    I work in this field. Samsung Display already got the contract signed for 3 years. 
    And it will be surprisingly thin.. iPhone 17 Air is just a "transition" which indirectly highlights that foldable iPhone will be as thick as a regular iPhone available when it is folded.

    Home Hub without Siri is useless. Fix Siri first.
