Holy schlamoly.
Fantastic. Your summary is the best I’ve seen so far. Thanks for it.
And, to top it off, the software update seems to have helped both Yosemite and iOS 8 a heap.
The stock is moving like mad after hours… tomorrow it should open with a nice (deserved) pop.
“Company has $178 billion in cash”. Jesus Christ.
Keep in mind that’s after the whole stock repurchase/dividend payments, I think they already spent ~140 billion dollars by now.
We’re talking around $300 billion dollars in cash/stocks that Apple would have by now if they didn’t do the repurchase/dividend payments.
Nice let’s hope they invest a lot in software testing :) and speed up the apple watch I want it now!
My retirement fund is feeling much better this morning, despite the slumps of the US Stock Market over the last 30 days!
That you Tim Cook and Company.
And, just about a year ago, people were predicting the death of Apple and calling for the head of Cook. Where are they now? ;)
Thank You Tim Cook and Company!
Wait a little bit longer. Even Sculley couldn’t destroy Apple overnight back in the early 90s. It actually took him 10 years and he didn’t get an extra year by announcing a very trendy sexual orientation for the sake of his ratings.
Mr. Cookie doesn’t have a clue what lies ahead, but he is definitely enjoying the ride, while it lasts.
Well – in the 3+ years since Steve Jobs died, Tim Cook hasn’t changed the direction or outlook of the company. He is still sticking with the Jobs / Ive vision of Apple while appearing to agree with that same vision.
For this reason I think your outlook is off the mark. Sculley made so many fundamental changes that Apple lost it’s vision and outlook very quickly.
Time will be the final judge – but I think Apple is still in good hands!
