Brady in the Super Bowl, Apple breaking financial records, and TD interfering with free market in the interest of mitigating risk for their company.

Things are finally back to normal.
 
There is basically one overarching theme - Apple’s improving competitiveness in comparison to that of its peers and the steps the company is taking to position itself for continued ecosystem growth in the 2020s.

The last decade was defined by Apple reaching one billion active iPhone users. Once they are inside, this paves the way for said user to acquire even more Apple products and services.

The next decade will be about Apple reaching two billion users (fuelled in part by wearables).

It’s clear that Apple is pulling away from the competition. As always, one bets against Apple to their own detriment.
 
And yet the price in after hours trading is down. The retail investors are so crazy. Trading emotionally based on Tesla's miss probably.

It’s a little bit of profit taking at the worst. The stock didn’t sell off. You want to see decent earnings and a sell off look At AMD today. Everybody and their brother knew for a long time this was going to be a record quarter.
 
Is it really a news? It WOULD BE news if Apple does NOT profit that kind of margins..the rich gets richer, literally🍎🔥💵
 
And to think, people thought things would slow down for Apple because "why do you need to upgrade every 2 years"? Definitely some great foresight by the team to innovate even their own earnings!
 
How on earth did they make that much??????? NO ONE DDESERVES THAT MUCH MONEY. Oooooo! I can now match my airpod max cushion color with my outfit?

Great. Got a good boost today from MSFT. Hopefully tomorrow APPL will add more.

And then there is TSLA which goes up and down every day.

No excuse not to fix the bugs in their software.
There are a few, and they are fixing them. We can just all be happy we are not using that crappy buggy Windows if we are getting to complain about a few bugs here and there
 
Apple made the right decisions at the right moment
That's crazy
- Good customer service and physical stores
- Controlling hardware AND software
- Whole ecosystem which every product are overlapped with each other
- ARM M1 instead of x86 Intel
- Made the right move into privacy while Google, Facebook, Tiktok etc.. are known to have issues with
- No charged included and moving into green/ecology/environment

Apple is a beast in every department/aspect, even in politics/marketing/opinion
 
I’d say unbelievable, but it actually is believable. The focus they have on their long-term, big-picture, business is peerless. I think things will only accelerate as they continue to update the Mac lines to Apple Silicon. If they did nothing else new but Macs, it would be a banner year for them. But of course updates to AirPods, Watch, iPad Pro and iPhone will drive their numbers higher yet again - and if we can start to move on from the pandemic, that will only help further.
