Last time I checked, Apple wasn’t holding a gun to their customers heads and forcing them to purchase their products.
Yeah we had planned to order this case with the XR but as of launch-time it’s nowhere to be found on Apple’s site.
Yeah it’s a shame for those that like Apples cases - my Xs leather Folio, ordered it with the preorder, and absolutely in love with the level of quality from Apple here. Once you use apples case, you can never go back to 3rd party
Very much so, I was half joking. Stop taking negative comments against Apple personal.... they don’t share their profits with you and they produce material items that should be of no sentimental value.
They actually do. I’m a part owner in Apple. Or do you need me to explain equities to you too?
Part owner lol, the most pretentious statement ever!! Having a few shares in a trillion dollars firm dunt exactly make you a board member now does it...
Who said it makes me a board member or even large shareholder? I own a large portion for my world, a lot more than a few shares. I own thousands of shares which is enough to make what they do matter to me.
Brilliant, you don't get it do you... i own shares in a number of blue chip companies.. has the phrase "Part owner" ever crossed my lips... hell no, id be embarrassed to speak those words..
Well maybe you don’t understand what you own.
I specifically responded to someone saying Apple doesn’t share the profits with me, which is objectively wrong. Owning share literally means they do share profits with me, exactly proportional to the number of shares I own. I’m not saying it to brag...I’m saying it because it’s true.
Part owner Implies you make decisions about the companies future.. you have a say in how things work.. embarrassing!!
No, I just get to vote my shares...no one has a controlling interesting in AAPL, not even the largest shareholder, Warren Buffett.
LMAO!!!! you think owning stock makes you part owner? maybe I should be explaining equities to you. I have a masters in finance, a series 7, 52, and 63 and I'm a fixed income trader for 7 years now at one of the biggest investment banks.... But I welcome your lesson.
By definition, yes...lol. Explain how my shares are not partial ownership, would love to hear it.
No one said I can make decisions. I get to participate in the profits of the company exactly proportional to the numbers of shares I own, which is why I responded when asked if Apple shares its profits with me. The answer is yes, because I own part of those profits.
I am a Wharton grad working at a Fortune 10 company in finance.
I’ll help you: From Wikipedia:
The stock (also capital stock) of a corporation is constituted of the equity stock of its owners. A single share of the stock represents fractional ownership of the corporation in proportion to the total number of shares.
From Investopedia:
What is a 'Stock'
A stock (also known as "shares" and "equity) is a type of security that signifies ownership in a corporation and represents a claim on part of the corporation's assets and earnings.
When Apple sells this $40 case, I own a fractional piece of profit. I really hope you don’t argue anymore, because you’re wrong and I can’t post off topic messages too much because it’s against forum rules and I don’t want to be banned. I did mention profit on this case, so hopefully this is ok.
Feel free to PM me.

I think the pretentious connotations involved is the crux of the matter.. a lot of folk own shares, whoopee doo, it's the unspoken vibe you have given off that you have some sort of Influence. Now time to leave this BS. Good day sir.
