Thanks. 2 more days! I was at the nearby Apple Store around 5 this afternoon, there were more people than I expected and a manageable line for in-store pick up. Things were looking good.
Got a tip for us?

Shifting sales from one quarter to the next compared with last year will just result in one of those quarters looking better than last year, and the other worse than last year. Numbers do not lie in the end.
There are often reasons for cynicism in Apple product and marketing decisions these days, but timing of quarterly reports is not one of them.
Last part - it was just click bait headlines saying that. In reality what happened is that Apple focused on building more 14 Pros because people were buying them instead of the 14. So in reality Apple dropped ordering more iPhone 14s but instead ordered more 14 Pros - which they probably make more money selling.Well over a billion dollars a day is added to the revenue for this quarter starting from when they took orders for all the new products - iPhones, AirPods, Apple Watch. Big Bucks. It helps. Especially to the sensitive pseudo-smart "analysts"
Stock market had a conniption over Apple's comment a couple quarters ago when they said they could be headwinds of 1 - 8 Billion, when it really didn't matter too much - they still beat!
Some analyst complained that there was 3 more working days in a quarter one time. Yah, people will make up negative stories to influence stock market suits who really know more about other companies and really don't get it with Apple.
Look at Apple growth rate - it's double digits in every sector practically except maybe Mac or iPad. Services - double digit growth. iPhone I think double digit growth. Etc etc.
It bugs me when some rumour that iPhone 14 production is being cut that AAPL stock drops nearly 5 bucks - particularly when every single year in the last 10 years, Apple turns out to have sold a ton of iPhones!
But trolls quickly turned that around to apple cutting production on 14.
It won’t matter how good this quarter is. All eyes will be on what vibe they give regarding the coming quarter and the rest of the year. Everyone is concerned about the recession. If Apple acknowledges that there might be lesser demand, the stock will tank. I’m not saying that because I want it to, I’m a long term investor - but that’s the reality.
Well, I don’t own any Apple stock, so I don’t really care what their stock price is, beyond staving off arguments from the cynics and the haters. Share prices fluctuate all the time, and I wouldn’t read too much into momentary blips when we know fully well how solid Apple’s foundation is and how their ecosystem and install base will only continue to grow moving forward.
My prediction is that they'll have made at least 3 dollars last quarter.
I won't lie - that was not how I expected that sentence to end.

You're terribly mistaking my post you've quoted like I'm doubting Apple's success. I'm not so pleas re-read my post. your first paragraph is directly related to my post.
Yet as we've seen before with september / october launches - actually never before has Watch and iPhone launch at the same time. Still 14-20 days isn't enough to have a significant increase, y?
Shipping /= accrued revenues/profits.
Shipping of sold products = revenues/profits.
Devices shipped to carriers or to end users on credit card doesn't get accrued until confirmation of delivered and there is always the pending 14 day full return policy that could also affect this.
The main products which are now at a significant discount by carriers - especially in N.America are the real $$ this quarter.
We'll see who's bet on this fares better ... this quarter revenues or next quarter which I'm betting on being much better.
Well Christmas quarter will be $111B a year over year beat. This current quarter will also beat yoy right?
We can have our cake and eat it too
Or did I still miss your meaning?
Sorry about me likely missing it.
Actually that’s wrong, having to have engineers fix things is a waste of money
