Making claims they could not deliver upon.
Apple is the most sued company in the world. And its not always because they are in the wrong. They are the most successful with the most money. So it should be obvious.

Seriously. This is why I don't come on this site anymore.
Tim Cook said:
How is that even possible? Hasn't Tim always been this slim and was sort of fitness obsessed in the first place ?
The only upgrade cycle that I really want is the CEO replacement cycle.
Tim is John Sculley with just a bigger Apple to make mediocre.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Wow, these jokes just keep getting better and better.

Lol! You are not alone.
Thank god someone actually understands why Cook is a horrible CEO other than "oh he isn't Jobs". This guys isn't innovative in the least in my opinion and this "great pipeline of new products" has yet to be seen. What did we get, a "new" apple tv that still has limited capabilities, three (or 4) years of the same looking hardware, no updates to the iMac that actually matter, the Pro is all but dead as is the mini (if the keep ignoring it even though they stated they are coming...). Since Jobs left all we have seen is slight improvements on the iPhone/ipad and I would even dare to say that we have seen steps back in the mac computer hardware and os.
I came here to comment on this...
First off, I'll say the watch is a perfectly adequate device and I've bought both s0 and now s2.
Second - if anyone thinks the watch is going to be a major reason for them to lose weight - they're smoking something. I think Tim is way off base on even alluding to this claim. 75% (greater, IMO) of one's ability to lose weight comes from their diet. Until the watch monitors or senses the food moving into my pie hole, the watch can't help that. Sure it can count my steps and keep my over 10,000 per day - or count my laps for me when I swim, but I have no preconceived notion that the watch has any significant effect on my or anyone's ability to manage their weight.

I wouldn't want to be a manufacturing business supported with Apple's cash after what happened with that sapphire glass business.
Create jobs in the US then hire more foreign workers. Apple needs a tax break from that 1 billion investment. Well played Tim.
You mean the company that mislead Apple? The one that over-promised and under-delivered?
I mean I've lost 25 pounds since I've gotten mine (Feburary), the tracking of my food with it displaying on the watch along with tracking my meager excercises have have actually been very helpful to me for setting realistic, slow building goals and meeting them.
For me it's not a preconceived notion, it's what's actually happened. I'm sure there's plenty of other ways I could have lost the weight and not being able to do so is some sort of personal weakness, but I can attest that having the watch/phone combination has really helped personally.
Apple CEO Tim Cook sat down with Mad Money host Jim Cramer this evening, where he discussed Apple's recent earnings results and delved into topics like an upcoming investment fund, the company's plans for television, the iPhone's impact on consumers, and Apple's overall impact on the world.
During the show, Cook said Apple plans to create an advanced manufacturing fund with a $1 billion investment. Apple's first investment, which is already in the works, will be announced later in May.
Cook went on to say that Apple is always looking at new ways to create jobs in the United States, and said the company will "bring things to market" in regard to growing its employee, developer, and manufacturing base. Cook also highlighted the $50 billion Apple spent purchasing from U.S manufacturers over the last year, including sourcing materials from 3M (adhesive) and Corning (iPhone and iPad glass).
Job creation and investment in the developer community was also a focus, and Cook said we can expect to hear more during the summer. When asked specifically if Cook would put money behind empowering the next generation of developers, he said "We would. We will."
On products, some of Cook's most interesting comments covered Apple's services category, which includes the App Store, Apple Music, Apple Pay, iTunes, and iCloud, and its future. Apple plans to double its services category by 2020 with both existing and new services, and Cook said Apple is pursuing opportunities related to television and original programming.On the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, Cook agreed when Cramer suggested the iPhone was the greatest consumer technology product. "I think the iPhone is the best consumer product ever," he said. "That's what I feel about it. And it's become so integrated, so integral to our lives that you wouldn't think about leaving home without it."
Cook was asked if there's something coming our way that's totally unexpected and will "knock us out," and he of course demurred on an answer, but shared some hints on Apple's areas of interest, including artificial intelligence and augmented reality. "We always are working on an incredible number of things," he said. Cook covered a much wider range of topics during the interview with Cramer, including reiterating some of the comments he made during yesterday's earnings call about iPhone rumors impacting iPhone 7 and 7 Plus sales, especially in China. Other topics of discussion covered iPhone retention rate, stock valuation, Apple's focus on users, tax reform, the U.S. government, and more.
Excerpts from the interview are available on the CNBC website, here and here.

Tim is just throwing our imbecile President a treat. Trump will claim a victory and stop harassing Apple.
I was hoping for a buying opportunity after the results. I sold at $145 last week. No such luck.
instagram with 2 employees was bought for a billion dollars
the construction of the spaceship was 5 billion dollars
instead of saying how much is "investing" he should say how many permanent jobs and what kind of jobs

There's a ton of ignorant, ill-informed **** spewed on the internet but this one is king for the day.
It was Trumps idea. Tim just (smartly) adopted it. Either way a good idea for.... the US.
