Well timed positive releases a day prior to earnings call, hmm.

Any company can market whatever their are hawking, at the end of the day parents are in charge unless you are saying parents are being peer pressured by Apple.

Apple has provided many tools and apps like parental control to be used, if parents have opted to purchase these devices for their children. If parents don’t know how to use these ask. It’s your child not some corporation, be responsible.
Well we've sure as hell had enough negative news for a quarter, haven't we?
 
That's all and great but how about paying all those US Qualcomm engineers by paying your bill.
 
Tim Cook puts a much higher priority on PR and image than Steve Jobs did.
That’s basically all he’s good for, being a good “corporate suit”. Too bad he doesn’t put as much innovation and pride into the Apple products like Steve Jobs did.

Markets go up and down, it is the nature of everything. Nothing to see here or worth writing home about. I am a shareholder and am certainly not loosing sleep over a quarterly loss. Be prepared that is the best advice many long time investors prepare for.

Steve Jobs hands on approach as a CEO differs from Tim Cook. Like him or hate him, this is what is presently. He has other capable names in departments for design, tech, R&D, etc. CEO’s key role is to defend and keep the company’s image always positive and answer for any questionable missteps. They are similar to politicians.

We don’t know all the details to jump to conclusions, I would not be taking sides but rather leave it for the courts.

Word...been echoing the same thing to people that watch the stock to validate their narrative that Apple is doomed.

They must not own many stocks.

I’m very comfortable with AAPL as a large holding.
