That's not the time frame I referenced. Since Apple's high point in 2012, Apple is down 20%. Google is up 70% since then, is at their all-time high, and still on the rise. I'm not saying the company or the products are better, but the stock IS performing much better. I was only responding to another poster who brought up stock price as evidence that a hardware model is better than ad sales model. Whereas the opposite could be inferred by that metric on its own.
Good. I don't want a lot of my info shared![]()
(Insert 10 year-old boy's voice) Oh yeah?? Well Apple's market cap is 488 billion! So there!!!
And this will become more and more relevant down the Apple road map, when we see health tracking, iTV, auto and home automation. No one would give Google the keys to their house.
A fair point. I did cherry pick for emphasis, but recent stock trends favor Google. Would anyone dispute that?
Stock is not an accurate measure of anything except for how many greedy, rich, old white guys "like" your company.

Apple earned $258 million in U.S. mobile-ad revenue in 2013
Good. That's why I'm using Apple products and not Google products.
Good.I work in digital advertising and I can tell you it's pretty frustrating when trying to put a mobile campaign together for a client and not being able to properly target users based on certain demographics. Its much harder to successfully target people who use Apple devices.
Depends on what you mean by "recent" and how much significance you want to put into "stock trends".
