All Cook is doing is rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. He's a clueless as Gil Amelio was at running Apple.

Apple Board Modifies Tim Cook CEO Bonus Stock Award to Be More Performance Based

CPU alone does not indicate or measure the total performance for any computer hardware. We see that with Apples mobile devices, for years out performed most others in its class with less hardware for example. Even though at the time the A series processor and graphics more then held its own.
Unless you have some inside information, which I highly doubt, thats the very reason why geekbench is speculative to begin with.
China Mobile is going to deploy its LTE TDD network. That's when iPhone shows up.
Steve Jobs had a sneak peek of iPhone six months before its release! He had a sneak peek of iPad as well. Every time they define a new category or make significant changes to an existing product, they announce ahead of time, old practice
Look Out Below
If you think APPL has taken a dive now. Just wait until the sales numbers come in for the IPhone 5S. (they will be dismal)
If you can short APPL, do it.

Ah ok so this is the beginning of the end for apple right? They had a good run.
Ah refreshing armchair analyst talk, i mean youre obviously very bright and can see the future so i should trust you. But whats the 5s got to do with Appell Pete Corp?
Ah so that's why Jobs recommended him....he wanted Apple to fail after he died.
Some here would claim that Apple doesn't care about profits. They would claim that everybody at apple works their hardest, not to enrich the hedge funds, but instead to make the world a better place.
Does anybody really believe that?
Point being, the first iterations always had areas that were lagging. People have forgiven them for that because they were industry and category changing products. The Mac Pro however has had many iterations already and the last significant upgrade was several years ago. The only real innovation was the size, something that existing owners didn't really care about tbh. They wanted a more powerful machine, instead they made virtually the same computer in a small tin can with a handful of ports. Seems like they wanted to attract a completely different audience, except the people who already own a Mac Pro can see right through that.
Again have you used... the device? I know who did, Pixar engineers and they claim its fast. I take even what they say with a grain of salt.
Although if you want to argue that the new mac pro cant be upgraded easily abd professionals will be turned off, completely agree with you. Apples doing that up and down its product line and that sucks
I don't see why it can't be both. Make money on products they cared about. Steve Jobs primary wealth is Disney stocks. His paycheck was a yearly salary of a dollar with the remaining Apple stock was at 24%
While he could of retired and live more then comfortably like Bill Gates, he choose to continue to run Apple despite his failing health due to cancer. That tells me it was much more then money he cared about.
You're completely missing the point of the Mac Pro if you think the only innovation is the size. Sure, it may not be what existing Mac Pro owners want... but how do we know that being different automatically makes it worse? Here's a good write-up on just why the new Mac Pro *could* end up being a game-changer. It's not all about the CPU:

Of course, there's a chance that the new Mac Pro doesn't gain much traction. But you can't write it off when many similar gambles have paid off for Apple. Just as nobody needs this new Mac Pro, nobody needed a 10" iPod touch. The perception in 2010 was that if somebody already had an iPhone or an iPod touch, why would a bigger version of those be anything special? And if somebody already had a much more powerful laptop, why would they want an iPad either?
And that's where we are with the new Mac Pro. Nobody sees why it's necessary... but I have a feeling we'll find out why when people truly begin to make use of it.
Also how big of a market is there for a mac pro? Especially after numerous articles are deeming the pc market dead. Got to hand it to apple for doing something bew and risky. My hope is this design will be passed down to normal desktop PCs. Id buy one.
Correct - but Apple could have been in there much earlier with, at that time, a very unique smartphone offering and millions of new customers. Perhaps the scale of demand would have been too daunting a manufacturing task - but that is a problem most would love to have.
I don't have to list them..just look back before post-steve job era.

no..if they getting paid high...why would they jump ship.

what would that be?
When you can buy an iphone 5 for $129 at Walmart all your wannabe claims to being a BMW or a Ferrari goes out the window.
VERTU = Ferrari
Iphone / Android - Your average middle car
The rest - peasants

$$ talks.
Any reasoning behind that, or are you just here to troll as usual? You're that guy who coined the phrase "Crapple" and someone who doesn't know what communism is, so nobody is going to take you seriously even for an analyst.
All I've seen so far is that he sucks at speaking in public.

I don't think that Apple's "innovation level" suddenly dropped after the stock hit $700 or that it jumped when the stock was in the 300s.
I wonder what would be the age of someone attempting to tell people how to trade Apple shares, and is too stupid to even now their stock symbol.
I wonder about both the physical and the mental age of that person
