One has to wonder how much longer can this company keep posting huge profits while only doing minimal upgrades to their existing products. I mean, how many NEW products have they released ever since Tim Cook has been the CEO of Apple?
Predictions for LT console sales:
PS4: 120M
XB1: 70M
WiiU: 14M
3DS: 60M
Vita: 13M

Numbers like these should go with innovation, something that Apple has forgotten how to do.
Ipad numbers flat huh? That's better then the projected negative growth i guess.
So much for the whole "Tablets replacing PC's" claims.
Well... not so much the claims, but the reality in any case.
Tablets are not only Ipads though... My local school had PC's at school 10 years ago, five years ago students had to bring their own laptops and today students take tablets to school... The PC market is feeling it though but we need to see how much tablets have been sold this year compared to other years..

Flat before the refresh. iPads are getting more seasonal, and are likely to be supply constrained this holiday.
And the accelerating collapse of the PC market, dropping by over 10% in a recent quarter, doesn't support your view of reality. Neither does tablet growth of over 40% this year so far.
One notable thing about next quarter's guidance is that $900M of revenue is being deferred to account for all the software Apple is giving away now.
One last thing worth mentioning. Not sure how much I trust these Counterpoint Research guys, as their US data doesn't seem to match up with other data sources, but they say that with the iPhone's NTT DoCoMo expansion has achieved record share in the Japanese phone market:

Being at the top tends to last about 10 years when this dominant. I think apple will start to fall back in 2016 and so will COD but there is still a few years life left in the fads
It is indeed quite true that a new device every quarter or so is spoiling the joy of owning a sleek new iPhone. In addition, innovation also seems to have taken a blow with the death of Mr Jobs, which might hence explain Apple’s fall in profit!
beated estimate, still the stock dropped that day massively because of YoY iPhone sales drop and increasing competition in tablet market.
I guess good new is bad news and bad news is bad news for apple.
Who are still buying these cult-ish products?
iOS7 is just awful anyway.
Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)
