Also, analyst forgets I guess about crazy inflation on other goods which cause people to have less money. Seems like an amazing quarter to me. Image any other tech company having a quarter like this? Also such a manipulated stock. All other tech companies are terrible but we give them a pass because they stink. As far as Apple prices they are not expensive compared to other high-quality products. No one complains about the cost of an LV purse, or a Rolex, or any other high-end brand. Shop at Walmart and buy crappy tech products if you don't have any more money. I'll stick with the best...

get greedy too. I remember buying my first iPhone 3GS for £299 or £349 back in 2009 or so. Now the same equivalent for me in a Pro Max model is circa £1400. That’s greed too, not inflation. 

Now you’ve also increased your  One subscription prices globally. Third time in 2-3 years too if you’re outside of the US.  TV is useless, you’ve to pay for most of the non  stuff.  Fitness+ bugs the life out of me cos they’re all on Prozac or something with those fake smiles. iCloud is rubbish compared to Googles offering but I need it. Not much use for Arcade either. 

Start listening to what your audience wants and will endure instead of telling them what they want or you’ll end up like Nokia. 

saying that Apple should stop development of new chips?

Indeed - we don't want the history of 68k or PowerPC to be repeated. On both occasions Apple couldn't deliver. With PowerMac G4 we had the situation where all specs got downgraded after launch by 15% as they couldn't ship for months.

The benefit of x86 was "there is no difference". With M-series... Apple should deliver the difference. To see ray tracing as a base feature is great. But then we have Thunderbolt 3 from 2015, the 1 display limitation (better than iBook clamshell that had 0 ports), the M3 "no longer so" Pro, 8 GB, and the heavy Apple Tax on memory, the use of LPDDR5 instead of faster LPDDR5X, and the lack of upgrades to iMac (not even the camera got center stage, display is still 23.5", and accessories are not on USB C).

The presentation with "iMac display is huge" and the launch of old accessories indicates that this iMac is not going to last for long. Apple is aware that the display is small, and the accessories need to be replaced within 6-8 months. And the current production node at TSMC is simply too expensive. Not sure if a node change will result in M4 Pro going Pro again or memory prices dropping, but it should.

Black Friday might bring clearance sales on MBP 14 M2 Pro and iMac M1. They could both deliver great value compared to the M3 versions.

iPhone will sometimes fix it. This is after erasing and setting up all of the hub devices. 17 has caused some really weird issues with Homekit and all Apple support can recommend to me is to remove and reinstall all 30+ devices I have. 

WT actual F?!
