Forums - General - Apple No Longer World’s Most Valuable Public Company (lost 37% value since Sept 2012)

This is extremely weird. Back when Jobs was in charge, Apple was one of the most fucked up, despicable companies in existence. This is the company that grossly overpriced their underspecced computers. The company that pumped out incremental update after incremental update to the iPhone every year. The company that blamed its consumers for terrible hardware design (you're holding it wrong!). The company that wanted to spend every penny in its bank account to kill a competitor (Android). And their shares kept going up like a helium balloon.
Apple now is much more humble. Their computer specs are getting better (still overpriced, but relatively speaking much more fair). They released an iPhone that is finally decent and different looking, and with respectable specs this time. They apologized for fucking up maps (sure, the fuck-up should've never happened in the first place, but isn't an apology better than a spit in the face?). They made a deal with HTC to stop their stupid ass lawsuits. And now their stock is crashing. What gives? This makes no sense whatsoever.
