David Emery on Apple TV is coming to Amazon Prime soon - 'Huh… If you don’t like Amazon video, don’t subscribe… I think there’s great advantages to accumulating all streaming under Apple TV, even if it’s just uniform search.'
on Premarket: Apple is red - 'BTW, since it’s ATH on August 11th ‘25 of 555.5, MSFT has lost $184.60. To regain its high, the price would need to increase (189.6/555.5=) 49.8%. And from the look of things, inflation is rearing its ugly head again, thanks to the ineptitude of this country’s leadership, with the glaring exception of the US Federal Reserve.'
on Premarket: Apple is red - 'Inflation is running hot again so rather than getting a rate cut we might actually see the Fed raise rates. Recent GDP estimates have been revised down again. Things are not looking so good for this year.'
on Apple TV is coming to Amazon Prime soon - 'But be careful of buying content from one of the featured alternates and thinking it will be in Amazon’s or Apple’s stored libraries. e.g. Peacock. I think if you unsubscribe it’s gone.'
on Apple TV is coming to Amazon Prime soon - 'Apple TV is becoming the TV Guide of the 21st century. During the 1960’s TV Guide had the greatest circulation of any US magazine. I think Apple is taking that as a cue for expanding Apple TV distribution. You want to see what’s available? Do a search on Apple TV. No need to log on to a multitude of streamers to find content. Apple TV has it all. How long before Apple TV includes TV Guide like (“Apple TV Guide”?) “Hollywood” stories?'
on Counterpoint: Apple Leads Q1 for First Time - 'If iPhone grew at 5% as Counterpoint stated, Apple will miss their guidance and expectations by a mile (10% vs. 14% to 16% guide). Apple’s guidance came out with one month of shipments already on the books and probably an order book full for at least another month.'
on Apple Watch falls off China's top 10 best-seller list - 'DuckDuckGo’s AI-assisted search says that Huawei watches can be paired with any iPhone running a recent version of IOS, provided that you download the “Huawei Health” app and log in with Huawei ID. I’m quite glad Apple now has meaningful competition for watch sales in a market they care dearly about. Maybe this will spur some overdue hardware innovation, which has been moving at a glacial pace in recent years.'
on What killed the Towson Town Center Apple Store? - 'They also killed my local Apple Store in Trumbull Connecticut. That is a blow for this area because the nearest Apple Store is 45 minutes away. I understand the decision because the mall in Trumbull is deteriorating and dying. But I wish they could’ve found a way to relocate it nearby. There are a number of locations that would be perfect with parking and availability.'
on What killed the Towson Town Center Apple Store? - 'Anyone on here remember discussions of the BosNYWash metroplex and even a rail line? Towson seems to indicate that that did not materialize. I figure Baltimore certainly would have been a stop on that rail line.'
on Premarket: Apple is red - 'Apple ended Thursday trading at $260.49, up $1.59 on the day. This is Apple’s highest closing price since March 11th.'
