So, to summarize this whole thread: Apple didn’t announce the new iPhone lineup yet. Apple is doing just fine and still worth a couple dollars. Apple will release what they want when they want. And those that won’t stop complaining about the release date and how Apple has ruined their lives over the last month, will do a 180 and be posting happy pics when they finally get their new devices.

Sound about right?

Almost. I kinda feel Dex will be complaining about how late they were, that they're missing feature 'x' or that feature 'y' is disappointing, finally ending up with how phone 'z' is better.
 
It’s been 5 days since Eddy Cue was in a video with a UK carrier claiming the iPhone 12 launch was “just days away”. Where is the iPhone 12?
 
Are you going to post this same comment every day?

Just a reminder to everyone who called me crazy when I called it fake news and said the iPhone 12 is still months away, not days. Everyone was celebrating the news here and said it had to be true because Cue was in it. What happened? Where’s the iPhone 12?

Most of us are aware that the event is expected on October 13th, so I’m not sure what you mean by, “what happened”. We’re waiting for Apple to announce the event next week or the week after.

DB each morning that new iPhones haven’t been announced or released.

Not sure who you're referring to. Most folk commenting here were fully aware the phones weren't going to be announced until October at the earliest and some might not even be available until December.

You seem to be doing an awful amount of projecting and deflecting. I notice that you still have failed to produce any evidence, for example, that this delay has caused any medium to long term financial effect on Apple's stock price, for example. Despite you being adamant you were right.
 
Q2 2020 numbers are here, Apple STILL absolutely killing it! Time for our friend to desperately grasp at more straws!

Amazing how Apple despite no 5G 120hz phones is still outperforming the market in every way.

Nope. Tons of people in here saying Prosser was wrong and pointing to that video with Cue saying the iPhone 12 launch was "just days away" and getting excited over the Spet 30th date on the iPad video. Where have you been?

Their stock has taken a huge hit and when your competition that only has single digits of market share can put high end features on their phones that you cant manage to, its very embarrassing. Apple should be ashamed they cant even deliver a 120hz screen on an iPhone in 2020. Pathetic.

Here’s a fantastic answer for you regarding stock:
And here's another graph from July 30 to today.

Hey, now, look at that! AAPL out performing the market anyhow! Even though they dropped in September like the entire market, their August runup was so massive that they are still ahead.

Based on a timeframe that YOU chose. When you described it in words, AAPL sounded bad. However you neglected to provide any reference point. The graph above shows it.

Yes, AAPL dropped a lot this month but the rest of the market did far worse. In fact, the tech-heavy NASDAQ-100 is barely +1% since AAPL's split announcement. By contrast, AAPL itself is +16.7%. Since the NASDAQ-100 is a market-cap weighted index, it's pretty reasonable to say that AAPL did more than its share in propping up that index.

Note that AAPL's share split was irrelevant. The entire stock market dropped on the 3rd of September and most companies did not split a few days earlier. The whole market was overbought.

Say, if you want to make your argument sound convincing, maybe you should pick dates that actually show AAPL underperforming the market.

That doesn't change the fact that the market has put more faith in AAPL than most of its NASDAQ-100 peers.

But as you were...

Here’s a fantastic answer for you regarding Apple’s competition who have ALL seen declines with only Apple seeing brilliant performance the overall market
I’ll make it easier for you seeing as you love trying to skip the truth:
”While shipments for most of the OEMs declined in Q2 2020, shipments for Apple increased 3% YoY and iPhone revenues increased 2% YoY.”

I know it’s all against what you desperately want to believe though so I fully expect you to respond with a long ramble and no real backup or you’ll just go quiet and try change subject later again *gets popcorn*

It's amazing the amount of flimflam you seem to be attempting to peddle here.

I have to admit, it is very interesting the sheer amount of the old BS that you continue to post.

How has their stock taken a "huge hit" - quantitify this hit you think it's taken with exact details that shows that this is due singularly and solely to the lack of 120Hz displays or the delay of the new phones.

I absolutely gurantee you won't, because you can't. You're making up things that not one single market analyst would agree with you on.

I'm not sure if your posts are laughable or just plain sad.

Where have I been? Keeping up with the rumors and not getting bent out of shape over a delay that most of us knew was happening months ago. 🤷‍♂️

The saddest part of all this is that DB, which is fitting, is spewing the same narrative in numerous other threads. It’s one thing to be bummed, have an opinion, a complaint, etc. It’s another to be so emotionally charged and consumed to his/her degree.
It’s sad beyond belief. What gets me is there are plenty of Android based forums that would welcome him/her with open arms. I’m sure they even have ‘We Hate Apple’ parties and get togethers. If you’re so disgusted with a company and/or product you have a choice in choosing otherwise, why stick around?

I just hit ignore so I don’t have to read the same thing over and over.

actually, it’s quite incredible that so many here just put up with AppLe’s complacency and ineptness with their new products. 2020 iPhone was supposed to be the big one to wait for and upgrade to, but it’s turned into a disaster. Same boring and outdated screens, same boring and outdated camera, weak 5G radio and to top it all off, it’s going to be the most expensive iPhone ever. Please give me one good reason anyone with an iPhone 8 or newer should even bother with the 12.

Indeed. It’s pretty interesting, as every new post brings some more insight into the reality distortion field he has created for himself, I want to see just how convoluted it can get.

I mean he has been presented with facts, but has chosen to rather continue down this path to desperately try save face by grasping at whatever tiny thread he can. Every new post he digs his hole deeper.That is a new level of dedication, IMO.

Maybe if we all agree that Apple is doomed, no one will (or should) buy an iPhone 12, and the launch won’t occur until January of 2033, Dexbell will be happy and go back to this thriving photography business (where he never has to postpone a photo shoot because the weather turned bad or a model got sick).

It’s worth a try, anyway?

Oh, so now we've moved onto the "complacency" game. You given up with trying to play the "stock price" game?


No-one knows just what the 12 will actually have, yet here you are already proclaiming it as a disaster waiting to happen...

Is there no end to your ability to ignore facts and insist your fiction is reality?

It's obvious that the iPhone launch has affected the entire tech sector of the stock market. They all have performed similarly.

Maybe I was incorrect about WHY Apple's stock dropped 18-20%, maybe it wasn't the iPhone delay, but there are several sources that claim they did take a hit over it.

Moving on, yes, we DO know what they iPhone will have. It will have the same old boring and outdated displays and the same old boring and outdated 12 megapixel camera. Every other company has massively upgraded both, why hasn't Apple? The richest company on earth is still stuck with 2018 tech, it's pathetic. Yet this will be the most expensive iPhone ever. Again, who's going to buy that? The two biggest features that will get people to upgrade are better displays and better cameras, Apple failed miserably on delivering either. Unless you have something older than an iPhone 8, there is zero reason to upgrade.

There is no end, just more reality distortion, a rabbit hole personified!

The hashtag made it official! Y’all thought Nokia and BlackBerry were bad? You ain’t seen nothing yet!
