Apple’s hand is down and its $1 trillion dream now rests with consumers
As we head into the end of 2017, it’s pretty safe to say that Apple’s fate — barring any major issue with its phones — is now in the hands of its consumers. With the iPhone X now in stores (if you catch them at the right time), Apple has now laid down its hand and waits to see where consumer demand lands. Read More

Looks like Tim Cook might have sent this tweet out a little too quickly.
The Apple CEO on Wednesday congratulated Australia on saying “yes” to same-sex marriage — except he added an emoji of the flag of New Zealand.
Congratulations Australia! Another important step toward equality for all. 🇦🇺 #MarriageEquality
— Tim Cook (@tim_cook) November 15, 2017
The original tweet was quickly deleted and a new tweet sent out, this time, with the correct flag.

Screw it, I’m pronouncing it ‘iPhone eX’
What’s in a name? Do the letters and sounds we assign to a thing reveal some deep truth about it, or perhaps exist as a comment on the society that named it? And who, once a new creation, phenomenon, or idea is introduced into our world, has the righ…

Tomorrow, we’ll see how much the world loves the latest iPhone. Today, we’ll have to settle for another spectacular report on Apple’s revenue.
Apple brought in $52.6 billion last quarter, a 12 percent increase from the year prior. The device manufacturer blew past analysts expectations of just over $50 billion. Its guidance for 2018 revenue also beats previous estimates.
The company’s happy news sent its stock up by more than 3 percent in after-hours trading and bumped its valuation to more than $900 billion — only $100 billion short of being the first $1 trillion company. Read more…

As Apple looks to set itself up to Wall Street as the de-facto standard of what a smartphone can — and should — look like as consumer demand evolves over time, it was able for the large part to deliver on that claim as it showed up with a big beat in the fourth quarter.
Apple had already set the tone going into this quarter that things were going to be better than what industry… Read More
