    I actually see Apple moving more in the total automation world. Siri on the iPhone can be thought of almost like a beta test. It's improving, Apple is obviously pouring tons of R&D into it (see new job postings), and it's being integrated into vehicles left and right. With that being said, I can see them moving into the home space to add voice commands to everyday things, like in futuristic movies. Walk into your home and say, "Play my favorite playlist, set the heat to 70, turn on the newest episode of my favorite show, and preheat the oven to 350," and let it all work and maybe even respond.

    • you have a lot of shares?sine
    • depends on what you consider a lotmonospaced
    • Well if it's in the hundreds, it won;t be a retirement fund.ETM
    • if it were in the hundreds I'd have enough to buy a house right now.monospaced
    • My AAPL stock has appreciated by 1000%. Definitely a retirement fund.monospaced
    • 1000% is total BS. Do you know how to calculate stock appreciation??ETM
    • At current value, $457.35, and lets say you had them 5 years, means you got them at around $41 each.ETM
    • The recent historical low is around $79.14 in 2008. Unless you bought them back in the late 90s when they were as low as $5.ETM
    • $5. If you bought them 10-15 years ago, then I apologize.ETM
    • I bought them around $50.monospaced
    • I know ALL about percentages. I've been trading for decades.monospaced
    • I bought 50 shares at $50 right before the iPhone came out, and that was barely 7 years ago.monospaced
    • You think you're so badass saying their low is $79 in '08, then jumped to the '90s. It was like $5 in 2003. I bought then too.monospaced
    • bought then also.monospaced
    • I clearly said "recent historical low"... 5 year period. I also said I apologize if you bought them further back than that.ETM
    • Not sure how it could be much clearer.ETM
    • You do have more than the 50 shares though, right? Only curious because you have mentioned retirement fund.ETM
    • However, 50 a tidy sum, $2500 in, $23k out (currently).ETM
    • exactly, and I didn't mean to imply i"d retire, just taht it made me a buttload of cashmonospaced
