Voice calls always work and I dumped them in favor of texting as soon as it was an option. I just don't want to use voice outside of special situations.

AAPL dove 7.55% in after hours once the news hit, so a large gap down is very likely. Some skepticism was definitely baked in, but this is a very unusual move (no pre quarter warnings since 2002!). All big tech joined in the selling as well

No, they lease them. That's actually pretty close to what Apple wants to do as well (Tim even noted it in his CNBC sit down).

AAPL is down 30.3% in the last 3 months (before tomorrow's plunge!). The market sniffed this one out a while ago.

by jonknee 8y ago
This may be interesting to people. AAPL currently has a 3.38% share in the S&P 500 (VOO, SPY, etc) and a cool 9.72% share in the tech heavy NASDAQ 100 index (QQQ). Should be quite a volatile morning for QQQ.

It's pretty obvious they don't want to affect the outcome of the election... Exit polling isn't super accurate to begin with, it's better for everyone if the data isn't announced until after the polls close.

In terms of tradable information, absolutely. Bloomberg is known for being first, not for long narrative stories (of which the WSJ may have an edge?).

For financial news? Absolutely. There is a reason why Michael Bloomberg is worth $50b.

Sure, but plenty of companies actually assemble their own products (like say Samsung).

And my point is that has nothing to do with why there are cheap knockoffs as there are cheap knockoffs of all well known consumer electronics (fake iPhones even come out before the real iPhones!).

There are countless X "clones" for any popular (and even unpopular!) consumer electronics devices. Apple certainly asserts their rights and yet you can still buy knockoff iPhones and even visit knockoff physical Apple Stores.

I think cheaper gas and long commutes has way more of an effect for Americans preferring larger vehicles than fewer foreign trucks being available.
