Which is wild to me, because I've had nothing but problems with OneDrive. In my experience it's inferior in every single way when compared to iCloud.

Yep, the current strategy of fewer common ports, smaller batteries, lower performance, thinner profile, and higher cost is just not the slam dunk Ive/Cook were planning on. Guess a finance/supply chain guy is not the best person to be making decisions right now.
No but I'm going to be crying when Apple releases the XR2 with 1080p LCD and 4 GB RAM for $949 in 2019
SIM card tray sold as an optional $129 extra
And after hours they tanked again due to comments about tariffs on iPhones - big headwinds....

Did I miss someone(s) posting that “Apple is doomed” in all these posts? How about “Apple’s been on a downward slide since Steve died.”
I’m sure I did, but I really don’t care. All businesses have peaks and valleys - it’s how they plan for the valleys when they’re riding the peaks.
I will be increasing my position on Apple during this valley.

This is a terrible decision with a 10% tariff on iPhone.
The Chinese will wait it out if necessary and our economy will suffer. I don't even think Apple will suffer much. It will be a tax on the consumer. If it's a 10% tariff, Apple may take 3-5% of it and pass along the rest.
"Tank" is a strong word. It's down about 1.5%, or basically giving up today's rally. It's down 25% from the high, but all the FAANG stocks and NVDA, AMD, and others have been crushed.

It’s about as equivalent to buying a pizza at that gives you more toppings for your money. That cheese is at the bottom of the barrel, probably loaded with hormones. Used well water instead of distilled, and the meat is the cheapest cuts they could find. Not incredibly good for your health, probably give you a stomachache later. Apple uses the best ingredients and it’s actually healthier. Sure some people like and even prefer well-water NY style $1 slices, and so do I - but what’s actually better?
You don’t know what your getting into with a company like Huwei or htc, ridden with software and hardware backdoors make it a questionable choice for any business/government professional trying to protect data or cryptocurrencies.
Seen this with so many of the agencies I’ve worked with. They try to be clever and cut costs using android phones and tablets. Not only do they not last as long, but there is a host of issues that I’ve personally experienced at dozens of events with non functioning devices that don’t work, have issues, or just have spent too much time troubleshooting. Eventually they come to their senses and buy all Apple.
In the end, Apple products cost less in the long run...without the hassle. They are more secure, reliable, and last longer - and important value proposition for not only the consumer, but any businesss or government professional.

Same here. I was considering an ipad and the saw the prices the minute i added the lowest priced one to the cart! Like are you kidding me??? $800 for a low-entry iPAD without cellular and with only 64GB??? I can find a laptop for less money. I immediately abandoned my cart afterwards. I cant justify spending that much money anymore. I'll stick with my trusted macbook air from 2012 and iPX for a couple more years...smh
Thing is... Windows 10 install base is a bit lower than iOS install base. If Apple’s iOS update would delete people’s personal files with no way to recover, we would have riots in Cupertino.
You know who I'm worried more about spying on me? My own Gov't, not Huawei and based on my Gov't's track record they'll just about do and say anything when someone else doesn't want to play ball with them on it's terms. So Huawei is not my worry here but instead the NSA, FISA, CIA and FBI who have morphed into George Orwell's 1984 wet dream
Keep jumping up the prices for new devices by 30% every year while offering little in return and see who else will pass Apple by, Timmy.
Trying to sell a device with 64GB of storage that is unable to use external drives as "your next computer"
I love these threads as I get to add more investors to my ignore list. I don’t take the word of anyone who has self personal financial interest in how they promote a company or talk about its products.
Nothing to worry about. Just coast. The iPad Pro is running an old 2008 phone software with a mobile phone browser as it’s only option exactly where Scott Forstall left it. Why bother messing with it when Apple can just make the fonts skinnier are brighter and more colorful.
Just coast and go with the flow nothing to worry about. Microsoft did that under Balmer. Blackberry did that. Nokia did that. Xerox and Intel did that. Everything will work out fine. No need to worry as long as you have a an old bread and butter product to fall back on.

I've been using one drive for many years never a hitch between windows, windows phones, and android phones. I've found Apple doesnt play nice with anyone else.
You'll find PC and droid play real nice. You can still answer calls, recieve and send texts using either the pc or droid.
Microsoft is improving as a company. MacOS is still leaps and bounds better than Windows as software. You can only clean out so much legacy cruft without a clean start (like OS X did).
However, I will say: Microsoft is pushing forward the envelope of Windows laptop hardware design with the Surface. Meanwhile, Apple is pushing their premiums higher and higher. It's frustrating. I like OS X much, much more than Windows but I increasingly feel fleeced as Microsoft narrows the gap in hardware quality while Apple raises the prices.
Hear hear! Not to mention, Apple's on-going disdain for their Power users (content creators) has eroded an important pillar in the support structure that kept them going during hard times. I don't believe it will come to it, but should Apple truly fall on hard times they may yet come to regret that decision.
