Gregg Thurman on Benedict Evans on Apple AI - '”doesn’t make much sense to me.” That’s because of your inability to connect the dots. That can be cured with a long term subscription to Apple 3.0.'
on Can Apple build an AI with a human face? - 'PED: Re: Can Apple build an AI with a human face? I hope so! Because the face in the pic you used to illustrate this post is DEFINITELY not human! 🙂'
on As our 2027 price target contest ends, here's where the pros stand for 2026 - 'Please put me in for $357.6 April 2027.'
on As our 2027 price target contest ends, here's where the pros stand for 2026 - 'Exactly, IMO, at least a $30-35 shortfall.'
on As our 2027 price target contest ends, here's where the pros stand for 2026 - 'Philip, please put me at 318 as two of us were at 317. Thanks'
on As our 2027 price target contest ends, here's where the pros stand for 2026 - '“If it wasn’t for a certain someone, Apple would be at $300+.” Last year Mister Unmentionable almost cost me even more. “Liberation (tariff) Day” was April 2, and the next day Apple sank to $202 and change.'
on Premarket: Apple is green - 'Ten minutes out from today’s opening bell and Apple us up $1.11 at $247.74. The major market indexes are all up over 1% as we head toward today’s market open. Let’s see what happens in early trading…'

on As our 2027 price target contest ends, here's where the pros stand for 2026 - 'Ouch, all around…'
on Apple as AI distributor - 'Hi little bit of a non sequitur here, but in the ballpark. I highly recommend the documentary ”The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist” . Wife and I saw at the theater yesterday. It’s very thoughtful & accessible and I think it could be a great jumping off point for discussion between family & friends about the huge changes that are coming.'
on 9to5Mac is hot for Siri - '“Too hot to trot now, baby” – Commodores I can’t wait to test Siri’s voice commands against my HomeKit devices to see how enhanced & complex my commands can be without having to create scripts first in ShortCuts.'
on Apple as AI distributor - 'The new Siri better shine, however, or there will be hell to pay.” I agree, even though in reality it won’t matter, as iPhone users will have the same access to AI, with the same ease and same number of clicks. And yet, it will matter, especially to those who have been following the drama for the last 2 years. I lot of people have stuck their necks out for Apple, and if it gets delayed again, they will be mad.'
on Apple subsidiary fined for reporting its error - 'There is nothing inherently wrong or suspicious about a regulatory authority enforcing a regulation. Good on Apple for confessing their error. Regulations tend to be strict-liability prohibitions that do not require the government to prove wrongful intent. If a US taxpayer unintentionally underpays his taxes and discovers his or her mistake at a later time, they are obligated to file an amended return and pay up, including penalties for late payment. “I did not mean to” does not get you off the hook. It is likely the same with Apple in this case. There is really nothing to see here. If Apple legal kicks into gear over this $500,000, we may conclude from this that their legal department does not have enough to do. (And this I doubt.)'
on Apple subsidiary fined for reporting its error - 'The next headline from Eddie will report this situation as: “Apple supports Russia in War against Ukraine.”'
