I wish they would also quote the change from the previous quarter rather than just stating the change from the same quarter last year, so we can see the whole picture.
It looks like sales in Q2 dropped significantly from Q1 despite the fact that the new iPad launched in Q2 and the iPhone 4S didn't launch until Q2 in a number of countries around the world.
I know Q2 sales always drop from Q1, I would just like to know how big the drop was compared to previous years so we can look forward.

Lucky you. I hope those 4 shares do you well tomorrow.
Well over 50 shares, my friend.
And here's what you had to say about Apple's record-setting Holiday Quarter, to which the quarter just passed is being compared.

LOL . . . some sort of baloney about Samsung and Apple's "hype."
Down voted for the truth... pathetic. Also, the stock is back to $560, but it doesn't matter, because it goes up and down all the time.
Apple will never, on their own, publicly - especially in a conference call, use the term "PCs" to refer to their products. Which runs the risk of lumping Apple products together with those "other" PCs.
Brand and product differentiation. Either you're serious and diligent about it, or you're not.
iTunes Music store: "28 thousand songs and 48 million movies"???
This is what the Conference Call guy just said. I think it was an error.

They can 'drop' that Other into my bank account.
True, but keep in mind that iPhones and iPads are basically a hybrid of Macs and iPods. For most people, iOS has made it possible to offer the best of both worlds so it's only natural to see this shift.
Depends on what the profit margin is. If it makes sense to keep them they will, otherwise... sad farewell.
I prefer my classic, especially for driving, since I don't have to look at it and try to hit a touch screen to change songs.
So tomorrow when it opens up 5-7 percent or more, are you going to be here eating crow, or slink off to hide?
The market closed at $560. Take a look underneath that number where you can see after-hour trading.
What's your point. I said Samsung was a better long term investment and it is. Apple success is predicated on a single product - iPhone. Imagine someone (say, Samsung) releases a phone that becomes much more popular than iPhone or Motorola succeeds in banning iPhone imports (which it is close to) and APPL goes to where? $200?
Does the LiveStream work for you?

I have no doubt it will open higher. Maybe not 7% though. Going forward though, it's hard to see where the grows is going to come from. TVs?
I think some are yellow because the guide is based on previous release schedules. The portables have been getting refreshed more frequently than desktops in recent history. As for the MacPro... I think two years without a refresh is nuts for a company that sells computers. It would be even crazier to pay full price for 2+ year old tech. When/if Apple does update the desktop lines, I have absolutely no doubt there will be a jump in sales.
All trading is speculative and all trading manipulates the market, by definition. If you don't understand those two basic principles then I suggest that you steer a wide berth around the stock markets.
Apple's success is predicated on their entire lineup, and on the strength of the Apple ecosystem that ties everything together.
The reason Imagination-Land is awesome is because you don't have to base what you're saying on reality, just on hypothetical **** you *wish* would happen.
You can throw out as many "what-ifs" as you like. It still won't make them any more likely or credible.
