Apples lowest quality, most uninspired products up to date, yet their highest financial performance.

Yeah, I mean, look how ‘uninspiring’ the AirPods and Apple Watch is, totally slaughtering the market right now in terms of growth, not to mention the Apple Watch is the _only_ real competition out there, with Fitbit at a dead end (And being acquired from Google). But it must be true what one member says on Macrumors to determine for the million(s) of other people that support Apple products every day. That’s why comments like yours have no real credibility when you interject some form of personal vendetta against Apple.
 
Apples lowest quality, most uninspired products up to date, yet their highest financial performance. To me that's the perfect proof of how ****ed up todays economy is...
When Apple produces their best ever MacBook Pro, Mac Pro, iMac, MacBook Air, Mac mini; best ever iPhones: 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max; best ever iPads: mini 5, iPad 10.2”, iPad Air 3, iPad Pro 11/12.9”; best ever Apple Watch, AirPods, AppleTV and Pro monitor... then what you get is record-setting, all time high revenue and profits. An installed base of over 1.5 billion products.

That’s reality, for those that live in the real world.
 
All that money but they still don't have the resources to fix the mail app ;)
Yes. It is so sad. Changes fonts unpredictably. Embeds files unpredictably.
I switched to Airmail for these reasons. Mail app has the faster search though.

How about them apples? Germany's entire DAX stock market is worth less than Apple. This is interesting and welcome news!
Not quite the entire DAX stock market: As The Guardian points out, Apple's valuation is now more than Germany's 30 largest listed companies that make up the DAX index on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

But wait... according to the internet and a lot of people here, Tim Cook is a hack, an incompetent who has no clue how to run a business and will be the end of apple...remember one year ago?

So, I say this must be fake news, Apple is doomed!

I mean, like, who really cares? Apple is a company and Germany is a country. It's not as though they're competing against each other. Is Germany supposed to feel bad or something? I'm pretty sure Apple doesn't care about this comparison.

Are you serious? The iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Apple Watch are the best-built devices in their respective categories. Best user experience. Other devices can do similar stuff, but Apple built perfect "cross-device" functionality.

Mac is now starting to get the love it needs, and we'll see it join the party soon.

The software is extremely complex, so I forgive them for a few bugs. Yes, they can do better on the release side of things, but they have also fixed bugs quickly.

I still think they need to separate their core apps out from the operating system. Presently, Mail (on macOS or iOS) only gets updated as part of a system update, and I think that slows down the Mail team's release schedule. Look at the "Safari Technology Preview" app as an alternative approach — released as a stand-alone app on a regular basis, pretty much weekly.

Doomed any day now 🤨

Well, the bigger they are, the harder they fall.... :oops:🤣
 
How is it that when Apple moves a couple of per cent the media call it a jump or a surge. It’s barely anything. When a stock like Netflix on occasion jumps 10 per cent, now that’s a surge.
But Apple makes more in less than a month than Netflix makes all year, so it's a bit difficult to compare percentages. Apple is making the big dollars while Netflix is making pennies, in a relative sense.
 
And they can't fix the all the issues we are having with the MacBook Pro 16-inch, it's been almost 3 months since it was released and all mayor issues are still here. Maybe they need an extra few billions......

That has nothing to do with anything. A price stock is supposed to move in relative terms. And is supposed to reflect the healthy status and forward projection of a company based on potential future revenue. Regardless of any of that 2 percent is not a surge or a jump and Apple generally fluctuates like that on a daily basis anyway.

There are two types of people in this world, including the idiot analysts. One type sees the glass as half full, the other as half empty. This is how they proceed through life. The half-empty crowd is always negative, always depressed, always naysaying, never happy, never satisfied, and the Internet/Social Media (of which tech blogs are a part) amplifies negativity much more than positivity. And so we have the MacRumors half-empty crowd that is always negative about Apple no matter what. We just have to live with them.

wasn't Apple worth just $1T last year? Where did the $400B come from?
I have a feeling this is just a bubble by investors that will collapse. Both Google and Microsoft that has much bigger market share and product offerings are not bigger than Apple, something is not right here.
 
Carl Icahn probably still says Apple's undervalued.

Just thinking, if aapl managed to reach brk-a price (339,260 at the time that I'm writing this), Apple would have a market cap of ~1487.28 trillion. I doubt that'll happen in my lifetime, though.

In the meantime, Tim, if you're reading this, I could take a few of this billions of dollars off your hands. ;)
