And if Apple keeps shafting the users they are going to have a revolt. Then see what happens to their profits.
Gotta be causing some people cognitive dissonance that apple hit $1T. The company hasn't been Steve's legacy since the iphone 6. Timmy took Apple in an extremely profitable new direction. Those who don't care for the new apple, should be happy there is competition.

This has been the tired meme for years. I'm waiting for Apple to implode based on comments on these forums.
$1T valuation. Wow. And yet, somehow, they can't timely make a decent non-iToy product.
Idk. To all the FinTwitter accounts I follow it was pretty big news today to them too
They'll forget about it tomorrow. There's no significance to the number, and it doesn't really affect how money moves around. It's like the time GOOG hit $1000 per share.

They never would have have got to this position if it wasn't for the Mac? The only reason Apple was able to succeed was by creating a solid product that people loved which was the Mac. That allowed them to then create the iPod, build to the iPhone then ultimately the iPad, watch and now home pod.
Apple has turned their back on that customer base that allowed them to create all of these amazing products. I understand that Apple has other areas that are more profitable. However when Steve was alive he always ensured that Mac got the attention it deserved even after the success of the iPhone. Tim Cook only cares about the investors and his back pocket and it shows. Steve never cared about the money, he was obsessed with creating the next amazing product.
Lol, your statement is pure garbage. The Mac is doing fine. Millions love their Macs. They have the highest satisfaction rates of any computer, and lowest total cost of ownership. Just because you personally may not like some of the features, that has no bearing on the millions they sell

Apple is carbon neutral and 100 percent clean energy versus Google and amazon who aren’t. Apple doesn’t monetize and treat the people of the world as their product. Google is an advertising company, nothing else

That is the largest pile of garbage I’ve seen. I’ve had Dell come out and brief us on workflow/cost/performance etc and could not compete with the longetivity/security/lower IT help desk needs that Apple has. It wasn’t even close. IBM ran similar studies. TCO for Apple products is much lower than ANY windows environment
Many of those people are switching to iPhone and iPad, not Windows and Android. And that's exactly what Apple wants.
Those people aren't doing real high workload jobs on their iDevices.
They're not going to render a 3D CGI project on an iPhone. They're not going to create a high DPI graphic for a printing job on an iPad.
They're either just casual Apple tech users using the gee-gaws to text their friends and make selfies, or they're using those devices as side gadgets to compliment their desktops where the real work is done. We've been starved for real high power workstations for years now (almost a decade!) and Apple has failed to deliver year after year.
I just really wish they'd just hang it up on the desktop hardware department (since they're not using ti anyways), just sell the OS and let 3rd party companies make clones again like in the 90's. That would open Apple up to a much larger customer base globally wen everyone could load Mac OS X on their custom desktop and see how organic the workflow on it can be.
That's if Apple gave a tinker-cuss about the desktop users anymore.
The sad ignorance of your comment is why Apple act the way they do. Something as simple as a fast charger which is standard in any modern day high-end phone. People like you who don't hold Apple accountable when their ripping you off, is why they continue to do so. So fast to run and say Apple has to make a profit, for one Apple has hell of money already. Second its not your job as a consumer or I think even a shareholder. To advocate profits over making a product that best it can be. Which many think Apple is doing with a lot of their decisions and products. Cause in the long term you will lose your base, all the money in the world and no one to sell your product to. Eventually you'll start bleeding money to fix the problem.

Do you own Apple stocks or something otherwise you sound really stupid. Making that argument as a consumer makes no sense. It's not your job to make Apples point, it's your job to demand the best product they can make, and claim they make, and nothing less.
Thats the kind of push back Apple lacks, it seems like the consumers who buy their products, aren't vocal enough when they fxck up. You'll find plenty of people here defending them while at the same time getting screwed in the ass.
I haven’t been this excited since my local supermarket chain announced record profits despite my grocery bill rising 15% in two years. I may be paying more for the same products but it’s heart warming to think less people are employed due to automation and their executives have had a healthy pay rise.
It’s strange what obsession and a cult following will do to consumers who no longer just buy and enjoy the product but take it on as some kind of allegiance. I’m chuffed for Apple, I really am. I wouldn’t mind them giving us a decent up to date iPhone around the £700 mark though.

Yea they are over valued, but Apple is the only trillion dollar one right? If Apple makes and sells devices that work then it can have its value, but instead IMO it’s just got steadily worst on that front over the last few years it’s not worth anything like it. And it had a decline in sales, a big one over its computers, again way over valued.
The same team that has made bezos the richest man in the world? Why would he do rhat?
The priority for any public company is to continue to make themselves attractive to investors.
So does this mean they’ll start making their products slightly more... affordable... especially accessories and upgrades which are ludicrously overpriced.
Oh, and maybe invest in developing a decent Mac line up!!!
