Apple CEO Tim Cook’s Message to 2019 Graduates: ‘My Generation Has Failed You’

It's not because they're "huge". I criticize them and hold them to a higher standard because they're the only computer company that makes products look beautiful. I like that a company like that exists. If they start fucking up then I won't have that go-to company for my gear.
I can leave my Macbook on my coffee table and it would actually enhance the setting. While a clunky-looking PC laptop would make the space look junky.
There's something so office-y, nerdy, and corporate about PC/Android stuff. While Apple is artful and museum-quality.
- lol (but slightly true) @ apple's function being coffee table accessory. it used to be about innovationfadein11
- needs to more competitors in this industry..yurimon
- other brands are all following and offer quite nice products these days. We're not in 1999 anymore ;)benfal99

Oh I thought it was the new Macbook Air, so this is the Macbook then.
- yupCygnusZero4
- Thats why the air line should be retired.CygnusZero4
- They'll obviously retire the Air line, probably just want to sell more of the stock off before they do.nb
- Yeah. It still sells well and is lower price.monospaced
- Maybe the air will become the rumoured larger iPad.Gucci

Note to Apple: Teaser campaigns are pretty useless when you can't keep your next product a secret anymore.
- note to QBN: I don't hate Apple - I just don't evangelise technology.fadein11
- What have you heard?HAYZ1LLLA
- it's almost impossible for them to keep a secret. Do you know how many level of people are involved in their stuff?benfal99
- accurate leakages seem a lot more commonplace now than pre Jobs and for good reason - he would havefadein11
- chopped ya nads off... fuck area 51, new iphone was top top secret.fadein11
- They're simply announcing the announcement date. A million blogs re-posted that image.nb
- It's not exactly useless. Although, it's not exactly a teaser, either. A teaser would give more clues.nb
- iyou have missed its rather obvious meaning.fadein11
- they have never been as big as now. ALL eyes are on their shit. Jobs wouldnt' done better.benfal99
- there hasn't been a single leak about the wearable, btwmonospaced

Apple is wholly unoriginal ... and that's okay!
Whether it's larger phones, a smartwatch or a new mobile payments system -- all of which are rumored to be announced next week -- Apple will be following the lead of other companies that already have products on the market. That's prompting renewed criticism that the company has lost its ability to innovate following the death of former CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs.
- Many would argue that a larger screen is not innovationmonospaced
- who is the CEO of Samsung? that's right. no one knows or cares.inteliboy

Stock split is purely psychological. There is no 'real' value in it, just more stock valued at less. Generally, the price does increase because it is perceived as more "affordable", so a $100 stock is more accessible than a $400 stock price.
Purely psychological, but, historically, it does lead to higher prices (hence why they do it in the first place - even Berkshire B shares split not to long ago).
Is it "not to be missed out on", no one knows, if they did, it would be 10x what it is now and we are at all time highs (correct?). That's true for many, many stocks, though.
You can make arguments any way you like.Everyone wishes they bought something when it was pennies (I think our Apple guru, Mr. Mono, has plenty of stock bought at pennies compared to today's value). Investing wise, you have to separate what you "like" from what is a "good investment", otherwise you get bogged down with emotions (which is fine, as long as you recognize it - I kick myself for not buying Apple when it was $100, long ago, but pat myself on the back for buying Google and others).
If you want to make money, pay attention to a few companies that you understand (Buffet's famous criteria) and buy low, wait, then buy more on pull backs.
Every good company can perform, but we are at super, super highs for the overall market, which has me personally worried a little. Just too much froth - everything is "good".
I bough MS not long ago and its already up more than 20%, for example, but I have faith in their direction. Apple, as a company, will do great, but their stock is super valued, so I am hesitant to buy as an "investment".

After like 10 years on Samsung I might finally switch back to iPhone and get a Pro Max version.
Not a huge fan of the boxy flat edges design though. It was cool on the iPhone 4 but I prefer a slightly rounded off edges design like on the Samsung Galaxy S20. The flat edges design is cool on the iPad Pro but not ergonomic and nice to hold in hands when on a phone. But now that Samsung started to copy Apple in that regard as well it makes no difference anymore.
Still think the dynamic notch (island) is fantastic and great use of a hardware limitation.

We asked Siri, Alexa, and the Google Assistant 10 questions — here's which one is the smartest?
Guess what...Apple's Siri is the dumbest, no surprises.
