My understanding is that Oppenheimer doesn't want to talk about the financial impacts of the new products that are coming in the Fall, but he'll be able to talk about them during the next ER call in Oct. So by that time, the majority of the new products should have been released or announced.
If the Haswell rMBP is coming around the same time as new iPad and iPhone, then my iPhone 5 will have to last another year. I can't afford to upgrade to all three at the same time.
Thanks to Steve Jobs programming of the faithful followers, Apples demonstrating that they know exactly what they can get away with.
The master of power, control & influence Apple has, and always will continue to do it their way. Even long after they've lost the top spot.
*sigh* I'm perfectly aware of what he said. My comment is relating to the article stating "During the question and answer portion of Apple's third quarter earnings call, Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer suggested that Apple will have a "very busy fall," following it up with a statement that he'd like to "leave it there and go into more detail in October."
This is insinuating that there could be an October launch, which isn't unlikely
However, the point of my post was to suggest that Oppenheimer's statement merely relates to the next Financial Call rather than a specific announcement.
Here suggests October 21st for the next call.
That's why it makes no sense to have all these new and upgraded products released in the fall. If Apple kept the new products coming at regular intervals one would think sales would be better as people could spread out their spending. Of course I keep telling myself that when it come to the Mac, Intel has to take some of the blame.
Yup! If they left iPad in March, MBP in summer, and iPhone in Autumn, I would be able to afford all on release day.
A door in the back to have easy access to replace the hard drive. Perhaps make a special edition black one.
Yes, that's it!! The next big thing is smart earrings.
Too bad for the uptight str8 dudes without piercings, but great for the rest of us.
Forget earbuds, the iEarrings will directly send data to your auditory nerves.
Apple stock will climb to $420, I'm sure.
You sound desperate to be sold something you don't currently know you want or need. Desperate indeed.
The Mac Pro doesn't have USB 3.0 or T-Bolt - two things that Apple could have easily and cheaply added.
The other computer companies update to new tech when it's available -- they don't wait for a tick or tock from Intel.
Apple will have more of this also. http://www.cultofmac.com/236845/watch-this-woman-lose-her-friggin-mind-in-the-apple-store-video/
I'll take a horse that's refreshed and updated over a car that won't start.
Lol, obviously. Apple has barely released anything the last 9 months. This cramming stuff in the fall plan is kinda dumb but what do i know right?
It should make for a spectacular holiday quarter and one the analysts will have a difficult time predicting... may be a good time to pick up stock!
Maybe, but if it's 100% perfect its quite convenient, much more secure than a 4 code PW, and, well, no other phone has it. I wish my phone had it so I wouldn't have to keep tapping my code in.
Um. What? You do realize that net profit was down year over year, right? Also, your theory that they are seeing what they can "get away with" is downright silly. Contrary to whatever impression you may have been given, Tim Cook and company do not sit at their desks all day coming up with ways to screw you.
Not sure if serious?!

There's obviously a reason. Apple and companies like it have a whole army of people who crunch numbers all day long. Just because the logic isn't immediately obvious to you and me doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
