Apple Planning Surge in Retail and Cloud Spending in 2012

[SafariX]

Makes sense because this is their big push for 2012 and beyond. More retail and more cloud!

Actually, you should be paying your fair share of taxes rather than spending your excess money on laptops. Greece is in a crisis right now because not enough taxes are collected.

From what I've read of the Greek financial crisis Greece couldn't tax people enough to get out of hock. Greece's problem is that they spend too much money on non-vital programs, like offering full pensions at 53 and bonuses equal to two month's salary. Benefits like that are never sustainable.

Apple and iCloud are gonna make it rain...

You know it! That is why I will NOT sell my AAPL stock for at least 5 years, even though I am 71. AAPL is going places!

ShoulD be interesting to see what's in store (see what I did there?) for the retail stores, maybe theyll offer some new services?

Which? Do you mean the big D at the end of should, or the missing ' in they'll?

Hopefully you'll be staying put.

so that graph basically forecasting that Apple should be selling around 140 million iPhones in fy2012 (double from 2011)? and roughly 220 million iOS devices in total for fy2012?


.

Geesh, that means by 2020 every person on earth will have to buy 2 iPhones a year. I'm up for it, but is everyone?

To whoever said that Apple needs to look outside of the US because we're already saturated, maybe where you live! I live in North Carolina and I can drive to the new data farm and home quicker than I can get to my closest Apple Store! We need on in Western North Carolina, particularly Asheville but anywhere closer than driving to Greenville, SC or Charlotte would be great!
