  • Weak demand for MacBook, Apple Watch, AirPods may have caused order cuts

    It is going to tighten up.  People around the world are seeing increased costs of living.  The last iPhone and Apple Watch were just incremental upgrades, aside from the fancy watch that only a few people would need.  I am holding out for a new M2 MacBook or Mac Mini, and will wait till the next gen. phone.  They are getting too expensive to upgrade every cycle, and even every other cycle is getting challenging.  But, I hope we will see AppleCar based tech. and VR from Apple soon.  These markets will take time to develop.
    No need for car. People more likely to upgrade 1k phone than 100k car. 

    I disagree with you. I believe many people will and still upgrade every couple years.

    I have 14 pro and I go back and use my iPhone 11pro and it feels different on most apps

    this is not even mentioning life saving satellite sos on the 14 pro

    The story could be the other way around. According to this news Taiwanese suppliers saying they have enormous problems with workers getting sick. So some one twisted this to Nikkei saying Apple cut orders. The truth is the suppliers cannot deliver the products to Apple.

    You hit the nail on the head. 

    Further, having lived in Taiwan for years , I know 

    Nikkei and Financial times are short sellers mouth pieces out of Asia. Not sure why securities investigation doesn’t happen but likely everybody is paid off..

    I doubt anything will change, but Apple’s pricing policy is not in keeping for folks faced with increased heating bills, increased prices and wages not keeping pace with any of it. All of my previously comfortable Apple subs are under review. I’m making do with my older phone for another year. Much coveted AirPods Max are a no-go for the foreseeable*. Etc.

    *First world problems, I know
    Apple is not the issue. They are a private business and face inflation pressures as well.

    it is our monetary policy as well as administration engaging in a foreign war in Ukraine that is keeping up pricing pressures.

    Did you see the news that Zelensky signed law to bar all dissenting news media and reporters? This on top of him arresting any Ukrainian men trying to leave the country?

    There is no democracy between these two, we should stay out and stop letting Americans suffer

    Nikkei Asia and that reporter is a paid mouth piece for Apple short sellers. Yes they get away with this stuff in Asia.

    That report is faulty given AirPods , watch and MacBook have completely different supply chains so one “anonymous” supply chain manager in China would not have that information.
