I’ve seen this before. Apple ignores the market and think so much of it’s product that it doesn’t notice the sinking ship. Most people don’t care about glitz and glamour of a product and are willing to take a cheaper product that does 70% of what the original does. And when someone tells their friends that they are just as happy with their cheaper version the rest will follow. Apple please realize that market share is important to the life of a company. Your goal should be to dominate the field, not just produce products that only the wealthy can buy.

IF they break into china. no one will buy iphone because chinas phones are way better. and korea’s Samsung puts it to shame. there is no reason for any asian to buy iphone.

design is actually very old and prehistoric in today’s standards. in order for iphone to do better they have to redesign from the ground up. the phone has no multitasking abilities and has a home screen button….lol

it is complete crap.

NO matter what you say. if you just try the iphone, blackberry z10, samsung galaxy 3, or windows phones….iphone sucks and looks like garbage old school.

so basing on the product itself….apple is going to sink to around $230 a share…where it should have been in the first place.

Remember the line-ups for the iphone? The same 10 people were in line for 6 hours..haha!! Buy a brand new iphone and yes you get a warranty. That warranty entitles you to a refurbished iphone. Apple is handing out more refurbished iphones than what it is selling brand new ones. I won’t be buying an iphone no time soon. And, what is up with their power cords? Has anyone seen an apple geek wearing a “Fuel Band” lately? I suppose you can buy a wireless weight scale…if your grandmother don’t already have one, duh!!! Laughing!!

“And the company is now breaking out Greater China revenue on its balance sheet specifically, to highlight its importance.”

Revenue is not shown on a balance sheet. Revenue is on an income statement. Confusing an income statement and balance sheet is a somewhat common mistake among journalists, but it is one that betrays the author’s lack of familiarity with fundamental principles of finance and accounting.

Here’s a thought. Let’s assume Apple were to stop growing altogether and just keep profits at this level going forward.

Apple could buy back every public share and go private in 7 years assuming the stock doesn’t drop further. If it does continue to drop, they can go private even faster!

What incentive is there, if any, for Apple to prop up the stock price?

It’s not a “rumor” that Apple is still selling out the Steve Jobs pipeline and hasn’t succeeded yet with any new initiative. Investors paying Apple’s current price per share have instead a choice between rumors and hype.

Analysts whose ‘expectations were not met’, should be sacked for getting it wrong. I am amazed that Apple continues to sell so many devices. I always thought a market would get saturated, but…

Apple should be worried about making greaat products that delight consumers, not some people in dingy fluoroscent lit rooms un-emotionally trading pieces of fictitious paper, unable to fix any science on their irrational ‘sentiments’ driven behaviour.
