Apple's record $81.4 billion Q3 obliterates Street expectations
Yes, that’s great info. Thank you. My original intent was that there IS no long term studies on the effects of the vaccine on humans, but the short term effects are slowly starting to be more widely known thankfully.patchythepirate said:one9deuce said:
Well, that 50% clearly just needs to be educated. Such as providing links to actual studies on the long term effects of an mRNA vaccine on people. I think if you were to post some of those it would be very illuminating.lkrupp said:
As always, Wall Street doesn’t care about what you did today, it’s about what it thinks you will do in the future. And the Covid-19 delta variant has thrown a monkey wrench into the financial crystal ball, all because 50% of the population are dumb, ignorant morons. There’s also a study out that reveals 1-in-5 believe the vaccines contain microchips. That means 20% of the population are certified idiots.fallenjt said:And AAPL after hour trading drops over 1%. What kind of WS bullshit is that?And you’re spot on, just like previous quarters when Apple crushed earnings, it’s only what Wall St. thinks will happen going forward that matters.Well, if you go to the VAERS website* right now and compare vaccine deaths, most vaccine deaths range from a handful, to a dozen, to a couple hundred at most. Covid comes in over 6,000. Of course, not all of these are verified, but evidence suggests that most of the VAERS inputs are from medical providers. Keep in mind, vaccine programs have been halted before for as little as 25 deaths. We have >6,000 reported deaths now. And yet people see fit to continue this, even giving it to children, who have virtually no risk from covid. Incredibly cowardly, especially when you consider that over %90 of elderly (in the US at least) have already been vaccinated.
How will all of this affect Apple? Who knows? Should be an interesting quarter.

iMac with 'iPad Pro design language' plus T2 chip could debut at WWDC
Man, you sound like one of those dudes that’s not concerned with the loss of *other* people’s property. Are you saying that if they came to your home or business and smashed it up and stole a bunch of your things that you wouldn’t be making a phone call for some “law and order”?StrangeDays said:
Man, the world inside your head... You sound like one of those dudes more concerned with some loss of property than you are with decades of loss of life. Law & order! Clean them boots up!SpamSandwich said:New iMacs, huh? Guess it’s a good thing looters helped clear out all the old inventory then...
As far as the iMac goes, it’s going to be physically redesigned inside and out, not just a refresh of the “internals”. Too many rumors at this point for there to not be something to them.

Apple investigated purchase of medical clinic start-up, signals larger push into healthcar...
You sound exactly like the Palm CEO saying this about Apple and the iPhone in 2007: “We’ve learned and struggled for a few years here figuring out how to make a decent phone,” he said. “PC guys are not going to just figure this out. They’re not going to just walk in”.rogifan_new said:
Um, Didi, IBM, Accenture, Cisco, Nike, Standford, Salesforce, Nuance, Ohio State University, Deloitte, etc. Apple partners all the time. I work for a very large health insurance company one that will soon have a market cap of $200B. We have a technology arm that is investing heavily in ML & AI. The idea that there is no innovation in healthcare and Apple will waltz in and show everyone how it’s done is laughable.cali said:
Yeah after their google partnership and having their iPhone stolen, Apple is pretty much done with partnerships. Too risky and too much greed and betrayal.mac_dog said:
why partner? that would bring up serious privacy issues. better if apple just went at it alone. regardless, if apple's snooping around and considering getting into the healthcare industry—in any capacity—all those old white boys will be shitting their pants. they might actually have to start innovating. because u can bet if apple can turn this turd of an industry around, they will. will we see the healthcare industry start going after apple in some manner? yeah, I think so.LukeCage said:That’s the thing, none of us knows exactly how Apple is viewing this. I think a partnership would be best also, but I’m not in a decision making position at Apple, my view at best is myopic. I see what you’re saying about the data analytics arm but having just data is not always the best. I used to be an analyst at huge hospital, how a hospital board of directors sees things is vastly different from how doctors view things. Even how doctors view things is vastly different from the people who really keep things going in a hospital, the nurses see things. Having those points of view, I think would help Apple
And I’m not sure I understand your stance that’s basically “Well, we ARE working on things that will innovate so there’s no need for anyone else to bother”. I mean, really? Health Care is a bloated and unorganized mess right now, it’s absolutley ripe for disruption. Maybe you’re company is going to make things more streamlined in the future, but they better hurry on that “innovation” because Apple is *definitely* moving towards changing things in that area.

Apple iPhone 8, Apple Watch Series 3, Apple TV 4K preorders go live [u]
You didn't touch a nerve at all, I just love the classic iPhone look, feel, and functionality and prefer it to the X. By a lot. I don't love the idea of the dock being at the bottom of the phone, it would feel weird to put your thumb all the way down because it's kind of awkward. I don't love the notch or the rounded corners for looking at photos or videos. To look at content framed properly the X needs to put black bars on the left and right when oriented in horizon and then the difference in size of the screen to the 8 is pretty negligible. 1.5 to 1 pictures and 16x9 video might even be virtually identical in size on the screens because the width of the screen in portrait is so close. I don't love FaceID, I think it's cool but I certainly prefer pulling my iPhone out of my pocket with my thumb on the home button and its unlocked before I'm even looking at it. The X is a pretty amazing iPhone and I'm glad that Apple is pushing the boundaries of what is possible, but it feels a little bit like trying to reinvent the wheel. Plenty of things push boundaries and try to be more futuristic and modern but eventually end up at the classic iteration. I don't doubt that Apple will always be pushing the iPhone towards the future, but I'm also confident they'll always have a classic type iPhone as well. I'm glad you were genuinely joking because it just came off really obnoxious, I am genuinely apologizing for being equally obnoxious.sog35 said:

Didn't you get obliterated in the stock market by incorrectly trying to "predict" AAPL a while back? Isn't that what caused your breakdown that everyone here is always talking about? If you're living in a low rent apartment and driving a 1998 Saturn I'm not sure having an iPhone X vaults you into "nobility" status. You do realize that the extra couple of hundred dollars more it costs is merely what some of us spend on coffee, right? And you also realize that tens of millions of people will have an iPhone X so it's kind of the opposite of exclusive? I honestly would love to watch you parade around in a public place with your new iPhone X acting like it makes you something more than you are. The shine of having an iPhone is a thing of the past. When I had my first one in 2008 I was the only person I knew that had one, now literally every single person I'm related to, every single friend I have, and every single co-worker of mine has one (or it's "equivalent" Samsung knockoff). A smartphone is a commodity item now, even the iPhone X.sog35 said:I'm glad all the peasants could purchase their phones this morning while the nobility can purchase in October
I am getting an iPhone 8 because I like it better than the iPhone X. Even if they cost the same I would still get an iPhone 8. I'll use Ferrari as an analogy: The LaFerrari is an amazing car and the pinnacle of what Ferrari can accomplish, but I would still rather have the 812 Superfast or the 488 GTB because I think they are better cars. Better looking cars and better driving experiences, the most expensive isn't necessarily the best option.
I was joking but regardless.
I didn't lose any money when Apple didn't reach $150 like I predicted. In fact I benefited from buying more shares when the price went down!
Having an iPhone X is special. Not because I can show it off to people. But because I know its literally THE BEST PHONE YOU CAN BUY ON THE PLANET. How many goods costing $1000 can say that? Not many.
The X is literally the Ferrari or Rolls Royce of phones.
The 8 is a nice phone. Like a BMW. But the 8 screen is just too small coming from a 6+. And I find the 6+/8+ form factor to be too big. It will be nice to have a phone with a large screen that does not overtake my entire pocket.
