Joseph Bland on Premarket: Apple is green - 'Hi, John. IMO, Actually, it was 36 M, per Yahoo Finance. And that’s just not enough volume to balance out the impact of that super-low Max Pain. There’s a ton of money on the line, because tomorrow is a “triple witching” Friday. Every dollar they can pull off tomorrow’s closing price is money in the bank for some and the avoidance of doom for others.'
on Why is Apple's Tim Cook eating quail eggs with King Charles III and Donald Trump? - 'Indeed – she probably just fetched Tim Cook away from the table that had the quail eggs…'
on Why is Apple's Tim Cook eating quail eggs with King Charles III and Donald Trump? - 'It won’t be phone based in the future. Spend a week with Grok or Gemini.'
on Oppenheimer: Is the Meta Ray-Ban Display a threat to Apple? - 'No, but it gives the author the ability to frame the article in a negative manner. Negativity sells. People who are predisposed to negativity absorb the headline, not the answer within the article. Then they repeat it truth, because they read it, so it must be true. Himmler was ahead of his time. He’d be a hero in MAGAland today.'
on Premarket: Apple is green - 'What a day today! The S&P 500, the DJIA, the NASDAQ Composite AND the Russell 2000 all reached all-time highs today. This was the first new all-time high for the Russell 2000 since 2021! Roughly 64% of S&P 500 components closed with gains on the day. Apple closed off $1.11 at $237.88.'

on Apple tells suppliers to expect iPhone sales to increase 10% next year — report - 'It’s really not a “halo” effect if people are planning on ignoring the rumoured foldable in favour of the next version of the “regular” iPhone.'
on Premarket: Apple is green - 'Dow was up but Apple closed down about half a percent on low volume, about 33M. Microsoft, Tesla, Amazon also down.'
on Premarket: Apple is green - 'My Apple news-of-the-day: I put Tahoe on one of my Minis, loaded my classical music into Music.app, and selected “Shuffle by Album”. Instead, the blankety-blank app does ‘Shuffle by Song’, which is completely useless for classical music (or ebooks, or any other genre where the work consists of multiple tracks to be played in order.) This makes Music.app on Tahoe completely useless for me, and is a truly appalling failure of Apple’s quality assurance (much more than “Tahoe won’t load onto an M3 Studio under certain circumstances”, which at least was localized to a specific system configuration.) THIS MAKES ME WANT TO DUMP MY APPLE STOCK, it’s such a significant failure of basic software QA. I was hoping Music.app would fix some longstanding bugs, not create one that makes it unusable for me.'
on Apple tells suppliers to expect iPhone sales to increase 10% next year — report - 'I’m thinking that the anticipated increase in sales isn’t due to any “halo effect” from a foldable as the easily expected effect of Apple finally releasing their AI.'
on Oppenheimer: Is the Meta Ray-Ban Display a threat to Apple? - 'Gregg, translation requires a linked iPhone and is not processed locally on AirPods. It’s processed locally on the iPhone if translation dictionaries are downloaded to the iPhone and done in the cloud if they’re not downloaded.'
