$84-87 billion projected for Q1 2018?
Ridiculous numbers. That’s a full $6-9 billion MORE than their best ever Q1.
And people are still going to yap about production difficulties with the iPhone X? Or complain about the price and predicting nobody will buy it? People hate the notch? People are mad they’ve dropped TouchID?
How does it feel to be so utterly wrong?

No, that’s a good thing for the company and shareholders. Everyone is concerned Apple is just an iPhone company and won’t be able to keep increasing revenues, this is why services gets everyone excited.
Not nearly as old, boring and overused as all the naysayers repeating it (and similar comments) while actually being serious.
You're probably right, this could be the peak for iPhone....at least once iPhone X numbers start coming in.

It should be pretty obvious that you are becoming increasingly a minority in that regard. The subscription model and it's evil step sister, in-app purchases are the model of the present and the future. Ownership isn't automatically cheaper, btw. Circumstances determine which is better for each person.

And that's with a 13-week quarter as compared to a 14-week quarter.
Surprised iPad isn't higher. The new iPad Pro is a hell of a device, especially on iOS 11.
In other news Apple dongle sales are way up and they are not sure why.
Cook said "[Through carriers in the US,] you could buy an iPhone X for as low as $33/month. So, less than the cost of a cup of coffee at those nice coffee places."..
Uhmm... is it that expensive to buy coffee in the US?

Anyone that appreciates great tech products; shareholder or not, should be thrilled. Unprofitable companies do not bring great products to market.
I didn’t even bother to check the number of weeks.
What I DO remember is people using that as an excuse last year to try and diminish Apples record earnings because there was an extra week. Always gotta find some lame excuse to hammer Apple with.
There were rumors that the 7 was outselling the 8. Cook quashed that with his statement. One of the analysts on MarketWatch also thinks that his comment about being surprised by 8 Plus sales is that the 8 Plus is outselling the 8.
Because people are sick of all the trolls and haters constantly bashing Apple. Seeing Apple post wildly successful numbers (and predicting more for next quarter) is like a huge slap in the face to them. And there’s no way they can argue against it because we’re dealing with facts, not rumors.

Both matter about as much as a picked booger.Inevitably the inb4 and i told you so DOOMED "Apple fanatics" typically outnumber the actual DOOMED "Apple detractors" by about 500 to 1. It's like you guys can't wait to inundate a thread with ironic "DOOMED" quips... as if they're pithy observations. They're not.
Continued from above: 98% of people think all DOOMED posts should be doomed. This was confirmed by a stringent scientific poll survey conducted 15-20 minutes ago. Poll was sponsored by Leningrad Polytechnika... Go Polar Bears.
It shows the customers that the company is doing really well, and reassures them that Apple products will be around for a long long time. When you love a company as much as people love apple, you enjoy seeing them succeed whenever they can.
DOOMED, I say !!!….Apple is DOOMED, DOOMED DOOMED !!!!
SELL SELL SELL. …get out NOW, while you can !!!! /s
from an Apple Stock Holder. …..hahahahahahahahHahhahahhAhhhhaaaaa!!!

As an American, it's always good to see a U.S.-based company doing well. (I sold my AAPL years ago.)
P.S. For the last time, it's not APPL!
