Robert Stack on Premarket: Apple is green - 'Yup – disappointing at some level, though the overall trend over time remains up. It ain’t easy being green…'
on Apple's Industrial Design shakeup: Mark Gurman speaks (video) - 'His education is in stealing trade, secrets in corporate espionage. He knows jackshit about design product or how to run a business. He spouting off at the mouth to have something to talk about and be relevant.'
on Premarket: Apple is green - 'Apple is developing a pattern. It is starting the day green and ending red'
on Suppliers say the September launch of Apple's foldable iPhone is on - 'Pieces post with Gurman and the foldable iPhone this AM. That is definitely a way to get things stirred up around here. I will need to see and handle the foldable before making a decision on it but my guess is that I will not be buying one. It will probably stir a lot of interest and traffic through the stores if/when Apple releases one. I don’t know if I really want Apple to release on, but if it does and proves Gurman wrong about something related to Apple, then, at least in the short term, I would be all for it. I don’t know what it is but there is just something attitudinal about his predictions and what Apple needs to do that just get under my skin.'
on Suppliers say the September launch of Apple's foldable iPhone is on - 'I had zero interest in a foldable, UNTIL I happened to see and hold one of the new clamshell foldables at a Verizon store (similar to the Apple rendering above). There is something about that form factor that needs to be seen and held to appreciate. It will be a hit.'
on Premarket: Apple is green - 'In the past few days, AAPL has tried about half a dozen times to break 300 but has been unsuccessful. If the crazies have gone home then a run up to 300 should happen again this week. Successfully breaking that 300 barrier, however, appears to be a wait-and-see scenario.'
on Apple's Industrial Design shakeup: Mark Gurman speaks (video) - 'I’m going to take the time to listen to Gurman to refill my coffee cup. It will be time better spent.'
on Why Eddy Cue launched Apple TV witout any licensed content - 'Foundation Season 4 is filming now in Europe. will be interesting see how the new team goes now that Goyer has fully left the production and only left them a story outline.'
on Suppliers say the September launch of Apple's foldable iPhone is on - 'Rumors? Meh. I was a fold skeptic till I saw one. I recommend that skeptics go to a local carrier and look at Samsung’s latest fold, not the flip. (Not a Samsung fan.) Dual camera could take 3D pics and videos.'
on Suppliers say the September launch of Apple's foldable iPhone is on - ' which I would never buy Same here since the rumour dogs say it’ll compromise on the cameras. I am highly dependent on the latest Pro version’s cameras & the software that comes with it. But once that catches up, if the rumors are true, I’d prefer the version where the size of the iPhone is cut in half so it won’t fall out of my pocket, not the version that folds out to an iPad Mini. I don’t vape rumors, I don’t vape at all.'
on Why Eddy Cue launched Apple TV witout any licensed content - 'At a bare minimum, isn’t AI supposed to ‘save’ us from all the errant misspellings? (Shame…our ‘humanness’ is showing.) 😉'
on Why Eddy Cue launched Apple TV witout any licensed content - 'The quality is definitely there. But quality doesn’t necessarily equate to likability. Sometimes I just want a cheap potboiler.'
on Premarket: Apple is red - 'Moving into the final 30 minutes of trading and Apple has fallen into the red on the day. The shares are off $0.87 at $296.14. The S&P 500 is off 1.30% yet the advance/decline ratio has now reversed with 60% of components flashing green. The tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite remains under pressure and is down nearly 2% on the day.'
on Tata in trouble - 'This is the same song by the same band but different stage. Tata is also the owner of Jaguar Landrover (JLR), which in 2025 had an epic security breach. JLR was using Tata’s own in-house cyber security services, Tata Consultancy Services, which seem to be as bad as they come. Production was shut down for weeks, costing JLR over $500M.'
