I posted this quarter I felt Apple should modestly increase dividends by a figure near its growth rate, which they did at 15% increase to $3.05 per share. I also felt they should aggressively increase the buy back which they did from $10B to $60B. This is a smart company. Buy APPL. Cash is $145B. That's almost HALF of the $381B market cap.
Rocketman
Macs down iDevices up. Go figure. hehe
New quarterly rate.Is this dividend payment a one time only thing? Or is that the new quarterly rate?

why are gross margins down? are suppliers raising prices now?
Macs down
Includes the Mini, yes. Since it resulted in strong growth in overall iPad sales, it can be safely concluded that the iPad mini is a success.
So much cash on hand. Why not spend more of it on R&D?
Hope they aren't getting wet in there.
Actually, they're flat. Which is very impressive considering the huge drops the PC industry has seen.
If they can do this well in a quarter with no new product releases, they should be in good shape when they actually release updates.

iPad Mini?
AI says it is the new quarterly rate. I have not read the doc yet.
The guidance suggests no new products before July 1, yes?

Apple no longer bases warranty decisions solely on the moisture indicators. It's all good.
But, but, but I thought they said Apple is doomed since they don't have a 10000000 inch iPhone or REAL innovation. Smh.
Great job beating expectations, Apple. I can't wait until I hear these analysts response. They will flip it somehow.
