  • Notes of interest from Apple's Q3 2016 conference call

    Update the Macs and people will buy them. Anyone who wanted the current models probably will have bought one already.
    I'm looking at a Mac Pro for my new business but I can't bring myself to spend that much on a 3 year old design that could be updated at any time.
    I just bought a MacBook Air.  It seemed expensive compared to the cheap Windows laptops out there.
    But the MacBook Air is great portable computer, running great software.

    It's time I replaced my MSI netbook WinXP fiddle and became modern.

  • Apple's Q3 beats expectations with $42.4B in revenue, 40.4M iPhone sales

    Nobody seems to talk about 19 percent growth in services. Before too long, Apple service will top Googles ads.
    Businesses can and do change.
    IBM was once like Apple, produced great mainframe computer hardware and great software to run on it.

     Then starting in the 1970s IBM increasingly got into creating for a fee software.
    Eventually IBM became 50% a software company.
     
    A few years ago IBM finished selling off their PC business; 
      then started using Apple's MacBook computer hardware to develop and sell software.   ;)

    So now Apple is getting into services, using their great computer hardware and software.

  • Apple's China revenue dives 33% amid iPhone sales slowdown

    Once Trump wins I suspect it will be open season on China. He wants them out of the WTO (so do I, for their many trade violations) and he has committed to changing US tax policy to favor US businesses and to staunch the flow of businesses and money to countries that have lower rates. It could cause a new panic and result in China kicking out US businesses (worst case scenario). There's really no easy answer to any of this, but the US seriously reforming the tax code (and ideally shutting down the IRS in favor of building in an automatic collection mechanism, a la the Fair Tax) would be a good start.
    Once Trump does those anti other country actions, China and many other countries will tell the USA to go to H--L !    :p

  • Apple services will be size of Fortune 100 company by 2017, Cook says

    #100 on the Fortune list generates $28B revenue/yr.  So, Cook projecting at least $7B per quarter in 2017.  

    That would be a (minimum) 18% increase from the current level 

    Very well done Tim.
    Those "not so smart analysts" are oh so stuck on your iPhone volume.
    They would fail miserably if they were running your Apple!
