Good, now the apple fanboys can stfu about Samsung not hitting its mark

it gonna be fun to see what will come.. the real Apple TV, the iWatch or something completly unexpected..
I'm hoping for an updated Apple TV box set with iOS game support.. with the perfomance their chips are already having (360 level) and being universal compatible with their other devices it could take a lot of Nintendo Sony and MS casual buyers..

its been rumored for the new spring version

Well those are gigantic profits. That's almost as much as what Samsung and MS made combined!!

How can you post 13.1 billion in profit and be under pressure for more Lol, American industry is really fucked that's why wages don't go up, companies always have to post higher and higher profits. Failing to meet the projections of those analysts can result in lost in shares even if your results are better then before, so what do companies do? They stop promoting people or stop hiring to have an higher profit margin.

I don't think anyone expects that.

The thing is that investors have already invested a huge amount ($500 B) in Apple and do expect correspondingly big profits.

If you divide everything by 1 billion, it's just like investing $500 in someone and  getting upset at not getting more than $13 in profits for the quarter. Sounds pretty reasonable to me.

If things are "f'd", what's your solution?

Should apple employees sit around because profits are good enough? Or should they keep trying to innovate?

Should investors leave their money in Apple because profits are good enough? Or should they keep looking for more productive uses for the funds?

Should customers buy apple devices because apple's prices are good enough? Or should they shop around too?



Sales increased YoY:

51 million vs 47.8 million iPhones in the same quarter last year.

26 million iPads vs 22.9 million last year

Even Macs were up, 4.8 million vs 4.1 million last year

and yet Analysts "expectations" were not met so the stock gets hammered.
