Apple iPhone sales & revenue down 16% from last year

Run MS office on a Apple product?

This has been the case for YEARS breh

 

[Golayitdown]

Apple needs to seriously up their game. I'm talking much faster processor, console level graphics, mini-HDMI out, better games, etc.

I think they should get into the console market. If they make their phone powerful enough and let me hook it up to my TV via HDMI and play games with a Bluetooth controller, shyt would be

Also think of smartphones as real mini computers. Like allow me to hook it up to a monitor and run MS office. Imagine walking into a meeting plugging in your iPhone to a projector, and making a PPT presentation.

I wanna MacBook Pro in my pocket. That's probably years away, but one can hope

That's like 10 years of release features you listed

We have the tech, it's just the Apple won't do it right now. You know their planned obsolescence strategy.

32% of billions is still a lot. Also i meant more on the itunes, apps, apple music(beats music) side..

Nah, that's not what you "meant" or wrote breh & you're only making yourself look worse by attempting to change the goal posts after I've already proved your statements were incorrect so just take your L like a G & keep it moving.

Samsung isn't as dependent on Smartphone revenue or overall sales as Apple is however.

I got no beef with samsung but apple makes a lot of money outside of smartphones too. You made it seem like Apple is reliant on iphone sales.

Stupid bytch obviously you don't know what the hell "reliant" means

reliant
Pronunciation: /rɪˈlʌɪənt/
Pronunciation: /rəˈlīənt/

ADJECTIVE
Dependent on someone or something:

"the company is heavily reliant on the baby market"

reliant: definition of reliant in Oxford dictionary (American English) (US)


Plus smart/dumb motherfukker you already played yourself by trying to correct me when I correctly stated "Samsung isn't as dependent on Smartphone revenue or overall sales as Apple" &

Samsung isn't as dependent on Smartphone revenue or overall sales as Apple is however.

Then tried to twist the narrative when I proved you wrong again when it's obvious you didn't know what the fukk you were talking about after providing a chart showing nearly 70% (68%) of Apple's sales & profits are from iPhones only.

I got no beef with samsung but apple makes a lot of money outside of smartphones too. You made it seem like Apple is reliant on iphone sales.

This entire dialogue or thread wasn't about Apple's other products, as the reason Apple stock has taken a nose dive is because of iPhone sales declines fukk nikka which the company makes the majority of their money from.

So GTFHO because again you don't know shyt & all you're doing is making yourself look like a clown in the process.


Icahn bails out on Apple stock
Matt Krantz, USA TODAY5:15 p.m. EDT April 28, 2016

"Carl Icahn, one of the biggest cheerleaders for Apple (AAPL) stock for years, said Thursday he sold his entire position in the gadget maker on concerns of its uncertain future in China.

Shares of Apple dropped 2% to $95.50 on the news the influential investor is bailing out. Thursday's decline in Apple stock worsens the shares' slide since the company reported disappointing earnings and revenue earlier this week. Apple's revenue dropped about 12% to $50.6 billion during the quarter, the biggest drop in revenue since the third-quarter of 2001, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. Shares have dropped more than 7% just this week — erasing more than $50 billion in market value.

The move is a significant about-face for Icahn, who just a little more than a year ago predicted Apple would be the first corporation worth more than $1 trillion. Apple is now worth $527.5 billion, which makes it the most valuable company in the Standard & Poor's 500, but rivals are not far behind. Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL) is valued at $489.3 million and Microsoft (MSFT) is valued at $394.6 billion. Social media giant Facebook (FB), thanks to a big 9% rise Thursday, is now valued at $336.6 billion."

"I got out of the position because I'm worried about China," said Icahn on CNBC. Icahn Capital had held 45.8 million shares, valued at about $4.7 billion, and accounting for just shy of 1% of the shares outstanding, says S&P Global Market Intelligence based on data as of Dec. 31, 2016. "I worry a tsunami could hit it," Icahn says, citing that the company will likely have a more difficult time in China than many anticipate.

Apple's shares rocketed on the success of the company's smartphone, turning it into a must-have stock with both professional and individual investors. But Apple's reliance on the mature and stalling smartphone market is turning into a liability as the market gets saturated. Meanwhile, much of Apple's financial success is the result of selling high-priced $650 smartphones even as lower cost and highly capable competing devices are widely available.

Shares of Apple are now down more than 25% over the past 12 months, lagging the Standard & Poor's 500, which is essentially flat during the same period.

Apple been around decades. Long before iphones and will be around long after iphones. How can a company making billions before one of their products be reliant on it

You're about as dumb as a box of rocks!


And all your stupid. misguided comments still don't change the facts!

Cell phone manufacturers response to declining sales is to take away features? How does this make sense? They're putting out the same phone year after year and taking away features only to add them back in some cases to act like they're doing you a favor.

This entire industry has flat out run out of ideas. Galaxy S5 to S6 Samsung takes away the removable battery, waterproofing, and the SD card slot S6 to S7 Samsung takes away the IR blaster and the new features are waterproofing and an SD card slot the phones look the same.

iPhone 6s to 7 Apple will take away the headphone jack and the phones will look the same. I'm guessing the iPhone 7s will add back the headphone jack.

It's been over, they haven't innovated in ages on many of their products. Just becoming another bland company. Totally loosing their roots.

I been saying, Apple has sat on their asses and put out the same shyt every year. The competition has caught up, though. Cook is garbage.

Apple stopped innovating a long time ago. In the tech sphere, without innovation, you are done. Folk weren't going to just shell out money for a product that has not changed much for several years. Cook has been a colossal disaster.
