Exactly my thoughts. These supply chain predictions seem to be more of a stock manipulation tactic than real news. Makes you wonder if they are released on purpose to drive the stock down?

As always, it will be interesting to see the reality when earnings are released. I'm guessing sales will be in line with Apple's expectations... they have a very reliable track record.

I really think 2016 needs to be the year that Apple focuses on the eco-system and really make everything Apple work flawlessly together with no effort. They are close, but it's the details that stop users like my wife from being able to do simple things like use Air Drop. Also, better management tools of accounts would be nice. Anyway... my wish list all has to do with ease of use and seamless integration.
Agree--2015 was a lot of building. 2016 needs to be a lot of fine tuning. I don't think anyone would be upset if 2016 was mostly a software year.
 
Unless of course they wanted a Samsung or other brand, like perhaps Sony who make superb tablets, as they wanted to run some apps that simply were not available on ios which is a fact.
Strange you might think, but true.

It was a joke, a little riff on the holiday tradition. I couldn't care what device people use.*


* unless it is a surface pro or Samsung. Then I will ridicule them mercilessly.(1)



1. Just kidding. Come on. That joke about mowing the lawn was gold. Damn kids and their sense of entitlement these days. Me me me me me.

you'll always find a few nutbars who think if Apple isn't releasing a new market changing disruptive product every year that they're "Doomed"
