He is giving everything to charity from what I remember. Also CEO’s are supposed to mostly care about the stock. Blame the shareholders for that.

Who is Tim Cares?

 

[Bart Kela]

The primary function of any publicly traded company is to increase shareholder value.

This should allay peoples fears (@Radon87000) who were worried about Tim's forthcoming bonus, due to the recent dip in his earnings based on apples lackluster performance a few quarters ago.

Already explained way back in 2016 that once the iPhone X come see out Apple's profit will touch record highs because of the design change.

Bookmarked this post for 2019 which is when Apple;s down quarter begins again as this X design become s stale.

Well good. I'm glad you were counting Tim's shekels.

A down quarter compared to what? 87B in revenue? Or a down quarter compared to what a normal quarter for apple looks like? At any rate I see next year's holiday fiscal quarter is going to be another record breaker. (Battery-gate will be irrelevant)

I am saying Apple not be able to break their previous 8 year record of zero declines.


Whether or not sales are affected does not matter. What matters to me is planned obsolescence was proven. Battery gate is unlikely to affect sale since because mostly everyone upgrades yearly. What's going to be affected is the OS adoption rate. I expect ios 12 adoption to be below ios 11. I bought iPhone X but it stays on iOS 11. My iPad Pro is a new device but stays on iOS 10. Iphone x Plus stays on iOS 12.

Nobody really cares about apple have "a decline", except the internet and even then only certain posters on the internet.

I'm glad you believe in "planned obsolescence" has been proven. Proofs don't work that way, but if you are happy with your new-found knowledge, I don't want to burst any bubbles.

The ios 12 adoption rate won't be affected. Comes sept 2018 there will be the same conversations on MacRumors. I expect a 60-70 percent adoption rate of ios 12 a few months after release. You may not upgrade, but by two 5s, and whatever else I have at that time will be on ios 12.
