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.

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?
