We're working on some incredible stuff. The pipeline is chock full. We feel great about what we've got in store.
"Incredible"
It used to be "revolutionary" and "magical". Now it's just "incredible". No wonder AAPL falling like a rock

Every other company that made a 7" tablet.
>>I guess releasing an ipad mini with retina screen does not apply here.
I understand the "revenue for revenue's sake" part and believe it, but the whole thing about Apple's top priority being making good products is not believable, and it's the most common advertising statement made by any company.
And yet so many others think they have indeed made the best product ever, I count myself one of them.
Criteria are different for different people, they are neither universal nor absolute.
Sorry, I'm just so tired of this "the mini is crap because it's not retina" b***h fest that repeats more than a broken record.
Just got a refurbished ATV for $85- Who is returning these things? Refurbished makes sense as a purchase for something rarely seen and simple in its complexity. Not sure how it can be improved upon hardware-wise? Only if Apple adds more Apps- Amazon , Ulraviolet. But these will never happen.
It's flat right now. Apple has boxed itself into a corner with the current ATV. Not a gamer so not interested in an upgrade in that regard.
Jobs always said Apple main objective is not to make money.
And that is fine, you don't have to buy products that you don't believe represent the value to you for the money they are offered at. I think the majority of us here (at a rumors site dedicated to Apple products) feel that Apple makes some great products. I think almost everything they make are not only good, but truly great products. That isn't to say that I don't wish this feature or that feature were included, but IMHO there aren't a bunch of "not good" products that Apple has made. Your opinion may differ.
Last time I checked iPad mini's aren't sitting on store shelves. Cook says they can't make them fast enough.
Except that's not what he said.I think Apple makes great products, the best on the market, but a statement that they care about making good products and not money can't be credited. It could actually be true, but it's not likely. Apple's whole strategy seems to be making great products, which makes people trust them, making them money.
Apps might happen--they happened on iOS! But that's software.
Hardware-wise? Well, typing can be important when you have a lot of content available to search, and the current remote (though I love the size) is poor at that. A new remote, or Siri, or SOMETHING would be useful.
And then they can always boost the specs... but those don't matter to me without apps. For video, my projector is 720p, and meeting that level is all I care about.

It's 100% believable. Apple believes that the best way to make the most profits is by making the best products they can. Steve Jobs said this many times. Making the best products they can will continue to please their customers and add to their profit. Why is it not believable? If they focused on revenues or profits before product quality, it would make them cut corners more than they'd like and their products would suffer for it. These are not mutually exclusive ideas.

How is that smart? That's what Apple did... in the 90s. And that's what Samsung and other crappy companies do.
What you said is believable, and I agree with it. That's not what Cook said. The objective of Apple is to make money, and it does this by making great (typically the best) products.
Why are companies other than Apple crappy?
I didn't say they weren't selling. I said that they aren't what the market demanded. Steve used to say that the consumer doesn't know what he wants, and he was right about that. I remember that I used to hate iPhones until I got one... now I just hate how much people use them, not the devices themselves. They're amazing.
Biggest lie ever.
And again, Cook said Apple is not about making REVENUE for REVENUE'S sake. He did not say they are not out for money or profit. He was making a specific point using specific language and people keep using words that don't mean what he meant or what he said.
