Uhh, no. You need to look at your facts. I'll help you, the highest MSFT has gone is $646 billion. Ever.
So much for the rumor that the iPhone 7 is outselling the 8.
If it's anything like usual, Apple stock will now go down for a couple of weeks.
In inflation adjusted dollars back in 1999. I’m just talking nominal dollars.
Cook said the 8 and 8 Plus became the best selling iPhones at launch and have remained there every week since. Tell us again smart ones on the internet how no one wants an iPhone 8...
we began shipping iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus to customers in more than 50 countries. Instantly became our two most popular iPhone models and have been in every week since.
Reality check for many people around here.

I suppose it depends on what one wants to pay for ownership or rent*. I prefer the former because it is cheaper. I see Apple's services being targeted toward recurring fees (e.g., Apple Music), like rent.
*and on whether one owns APPL stock...
Best September quarter ever for Mac. Yep touchbar and keyboards and no Mac mini update are really dooming the Mac business.
In inflation adjusted dollars, they would have had $740,753,301,320.53 in 1999. I think someone is trying to regurgitate old news about MS being the first to hit $700 billion with inflation.
It’s hard to imagine Apple getting bigger and more successful but they just do.
Apple Music and? I know I spent more on music without Apple Music than I do on the subscription.
All hail Tim Cook
I love this company so much
Great products and an incredible investment

Very impressive with strong results in services. Hardware continues to lag, particularly the iPhone. Predicting a $10 billion increase in revenue year-over-year in the 4th quarter. That may not be a good omen for the iPhone X given the way services is growing. iPhone revenue needs to increase substantially now that the demand for a redesigned phone will be satisfied.
Next quarter will tell the tale. Fairly flat unit sales in the iPhone for three straight years now. If iPhone unit sales don't show a supercycle and increase quite a bit in the next quarter because of pent up demand for the redesign I think it will show the market has reached a saturation point and future growth will have to come from other areas.

It's impossible to prove or disapprove let alone infer anything that specific from data like this
I could be wrong but I think they did 2 inventory corrections this year. 1 in their 2nd qtr and 1 in the 3rd
It's inevitable. Apple is increasing their focus on services and doing a good job of convincing people to avail themselves of said services. Personally I think it's GREAT to see the iPhone down to 55% of revenue. Less eggs in that one basket. More diversified cash is a good thing in my view.
I think Mr. Maestri said iPhone channel build was 1.2 million (or maybe he said 1.3 million). That means iPhone sell-through was up about 2-1/2 million YoY.
If by channel corrections you mean quarters in which they drew down (rather than built up) channel inventory, then yeah. They typically have 2 each year. (Although in earlier years, when iPhone sales were growing at a faster rate in general, they typically only had 1.)
