Apple Rises to #3 in Annual Fortune 500 Rankings

[maxsix]

These numbers are all well and good for the wall street type folks, but for me as a consumer, I'd prefer seeing some innovation and some cool products. What I hope we DON'T see soon, is a thinner laptop, a thinner iPhone, a thinner watch, etc. Apple has shown itself that it can really make some great products, lets just give up on the thin design and make a design that will turn heads, but also function great.

Admittedly I have been very disgusted with the choices Apple has made over the last two years. That said, I'd be very enthusiastic and happy if they would focus, use the talent and resources they have and create some innovative, fresh new products. Get serious, sort out software bugs and deliver world class quality. Apple is certainly capable.

I thought they were already #3.

Sadly this is the chart that makes TC smile and confirm he is doing a great job.

I'd like to see some new products and innovation

The only Apple product that NEEDS to be thinner at this point is Apple Watch.

Any thinner and you risk the band lugs from not having sufficient material on the watch body to lock on to.

You want innovation AND bulkiness! LOL

No, but I don't need a paper thin watch either. There's bulky, and then there's sufficiently sized. I'd rather a a couple of millimeters of thickness on the iPhone 6 then have the camera protrude out.

While I completely & totally agree with you on the iPhone front; with regards to the watch- that is simply wrong.
I have (like most men of my age) owned many a watch. My most recent is the exquisite Museum Piece by Movado. It is roughly 1/2 the ridiculous and absurd thickness of the Apple Watch.
I find that level of thickness; (the "gangster" look) repulsive, ostentatious, & just plain tacky.
Factually- there are many, many, many, many slimmer watches (like my aforementioned Movado) that fit a standard size band. The bands on the Apple Watch are not particularly thin or thick... and could definitely still fit solidly were the thickness to change, even radically.
