Time for Cook to go as he's no good for AAPL.
I wonder what they are actually measuring there. “Product not returned within the 14-day return window”?

That's not a serious question, you know what those words mean. You also know that Apple cannot disclose all of its forward-facing outlook.
Innovation costs money. Development costs money. Trying new things costs money.
Apple are in the business to make money, not spend it. If they could get away with charging you more to give you less they absolutely would (again)
If the case ultimately goes against Apple/Google, I think it’s possible Apple could sign a multi-partner deal to promote 2 or 3 search services. It might not be as lucrative, but it could take some of the sting out.
You totally miss my point. Among the giant companies, Apple was the first to invest heavily in AI, unfortunately Steve Jobs had to put off his work right after that. After that, because the successor is lack of vision, he happily watched others quickly catching up, surpassing, and disappearing off in the front. If Apple kept Steve Jobs vision in aggressively investing in the AI, its quarterly profit would easily be double its current or more.

Same could be said for the idiotic tariff war we're in, but cult is as cult does.
No, no, no! You must preface your remarks with a toxic rant about Cook.
No one is rioting in the street while Elon is stealing everyone's private information from government databases.
Depends on what growth you're talking about. Market Capitalization end of 2021: $2.901 Trillion. Market Capitalization end of 2024: $3.863 Trillion.
That's the growth that the Board of Directors, Tim Cook and stockholders care about the most.
Hardly innovate? Their products are packed with the most advanced chips ever, and people here COMPLAIN and WHINE because they are much too powerful for their web surfing and texting needs, wishing Apple would step back and let others leapfrog them.

Looks like it was a good quarter for Apple. Hopefully tariffs won't cause any major issues for Apple in the near future.
You must have missed the call, because that has nothing to do with what I said.
What you said is inaccurate. The recent higher Googl net income was a result of an $8b one time investment in a private company.
Apple has much more net income in their fiscal Q1 at over $36B, projecting to around 115B for this year. Google is around $25-26B more consistently and projects around $105-$110B this year.
Apple is still more profitable and in case you missed it, trades at a higher valuation because of market confidence in AAPL.
Apple is worth $3.2T while Google is under $2T.
I like both companies but what you said isn’t correct.
Not sure who he is or what call he listened to, but Cook was incredibly forthcoming on detailed tariff color and disclosed how well they are managing tariffs.
He’s not going to comment on legal cases in progress, standard procedure. Is he new to this? Cook said they’re appealing and disagree with the ruling, but complying while they appeal.
