I mean $50 dollars for an Apple specific dongle to attach a $5 HDMI cable to an iOS product is just a joke.

Also how about all the money they have been forcing cellular companies to pay to carry the iPhone and cellular iPads. If anything the cellular customers who aren’t buying iOS products are paying way more a month in monthly cell bills to help cover these costs that only go to Apples pocket.

If you actually read statements from AAPL instead of repeating whining punditry, your concerns could be avoided.

Investors who panic over firms with growth rates only ten times the rate of our GDP growth deserve to spend their spare time peering into the darkness of their bedroom clothes closet for ghosties and ghoulies.

I was a die hard x86 guy for over 20 years. I bought an iPad that sold me on the iPhone and I was very happy. after jobs death we lost maps YouTube. i never had an apple device crash on me. one of the last updates now crashes my programs to desktop intermittently. they are releasing too many products to close together and making thier own products obsolete. product release dates that were far apart allowed developers time to perfect their code and test and debug. I just ran into an app that requires ios 6 so I can’t run it. if I wanted software that crashed and was made obsolete every 6 months I would have stayed with android. the current decision makers need to be fired. whoever is making decisions now are going to kill the company with their current plan. it is sad they are killing everything that made apple great.

Now, all investors can think of how can we get out with as much as possible.

Perhaps that is why they are discussing the issuance of preferred stock versus a cash dividend?
