I'm sick of hearing that line, but I'm a happy shareholder right now
Not as bad as "incredible"

Ballmer bombed as CEO of Microsoft and failed to grow the stock price the entire time he was CEO. Hard to compare him to Cook.
So much for "no one will want the iphone without a headphone jack". Most iphones sold ever for a quarter for the worst phone to come out.
How do you know they sold that many iPhone 7 units?
It says iPhone, not iPhone 7. It could be SE sales.
LOL. You funny. The majority of people are more than happy with user experience. If you're not, you know where you can go; http://m.androidcentral.com
EDIT: This guy replied saying how it's ironic considering I'm on MacRumours. I'm not complaining though. Some people...

Don't count on a Samsung flagship ban every quarter.
I wonder if someone could correlate the quantity of "Apple is doomed" like posts to the revenue ..?
I know Macs are now a very small part of Apple's overall operation...
...but Macs are still a $7 Billion business!!! Many companies can only dream of those kinds of numbers.
Still... I believe Macs could be even bigger if they made more Macs that more people were happy with.

Take out the 69% of revenue made by iPhones and Apple would still make the FTSE 100 (if they were British).
Oh, I forgot, they're doomed!!

If you could only see the incredible irony of your post on MACrumors.com
Go figure.....he has nothing to say about Mac Pro. Heh...isn't that why he needs few minutes to rehearse?
As sad as it may be, it is all about Shareholders for every company. Supply and demand. Why lower the price or make radical changes when people keep buying as is? Companies continue to compete against Apple trying to come out with new or better features and sometimes it works and sometimes the phone blows up trying to be better.
I hope the iPhone 8 is radically different.
How about fatter computers and thinner profits?
Yes that swift programming language is horrible, the processors they're making aren't best in class, focusing on services - that's just stupid, airpods - they didn't fix anyting in the blue tooth arena ... he's just making one stupid decision after the other - NOT!
What's given to the consumer are the products and services. Apple gets money for them, and investors get the dividend.
No? I'll give Tim "a break" when he stops treating the Mac like the redheaded stepchild of Apple's lineup.
An all-new MacBook Pro form factor and the needle barely changed.
Yes but I'm not complaining about Apple. If you're not happy, jump ship, no-ones gives two hoots.
Some things to note:
1) This quarter had 14 weeks instead of 13 as in most years, due to a calendering issue. See
http://ped30.com/2016/08/12/apple-extra-week-q1-2017/
2) What that means is that revenue per week was down from last year: $78.4 billion / 14 = $5.6 billion vs. $75.9 billion / 13 = $5.8 billion. So not much growth, I'm afraid.
3) Also, Apple appears convinced that iPads are the future, but iPad sales are shrinking and Macs are growing. Macs currently account for 9% of revenue vs. 7% for iPads.

True, but 9% is still $20 billion plus revenue per year, and a sizeable company in it's own right. There are plenty of notebook makers who would love that revenue!
yah - right - its the se that's selling gangbusters and was out of stock during the sales period. sure thing. I see them all over Manhattan - NOT! but seriously, The Average Selling Price was $695 - that's not because of the SE. and Cook on the call just said "Exceptional demand for iPhone 7, but iPhone 7 Plus was a higher portion of the mix than seen before".

That is what I thought also. History has shown us (RIM, Moto) that depending so much on one product line can turn bad quickly if sales were to fall off a cliff. What will be interesting to me is if cell phone makers can keep people buying new phones every two years now that the US market has shifted away from 2 year contracts. More and more people I know are holding on to their phones longer. The next year or two should really give us the answer to this question.
The extra reporting week is hiding a lot (this quarter is approx 1 week longer than last years corresponding quarter). Without it, sales, revenue, iPhones and Macs would all have declined year on year
That chart sure does point out what a festering steaming pile of failure the watch is. Its percentage doesn't even rate it's own sliver that would only serve to point out the amount of fail.
