Michael Goldfeder on Premarket: Apple is green - '@Steven and Roger: The Seahawks are playing some very good football and earned their way to the Super Bowl. The Patriots have done it the same way for the AFC Championship. They are a very gritty and well coached team who have been finding a way to win. No Tom Brady. No Belichick. No Jordan Hudson. Should be a very good match up. The real interesting aspect of this game is that there isn’t an original NFL Team playing and the stock market generally moved higher every time the winner of the Super Bowl was an original NFL Team. The Seahawks and Patriots are AFC and AFL. Lots of history with the Patriots who find a way to win they get to the Super Bowl. Seattle is good, but they’re not the 85 Chicago Bears. This is going to be a tough game.'
on HSBC: Apple on Thursday expected to report largest revenue pop since 2022 - 'Wonder how they compare on efficiency/ power usage.'
on Premarket: Apple is green - 'He recently predicted when he would die. But 10 years…?? Maybe DOGE found a way to make it more efficient – and quicker!'
on Apple: Morgan Stanley sticks with its Overweight rating and $315 price target - 'I’m really interested to see if they say anything about memory cost during the call in. I’ve been watching memory prices skyrocket during the last six months or so and I’ve wondered how Apple will handle this. It’s getting to the point where I wonder what steps they’ve taken just to secure parts. There was a story recently that Crucial has abandoned the consumer memory market to focus on the AI market.'
on Apple's new AirTags are louder, with better range - 'Phillip I would encourage you to buy your A products from Best Buy and become one of their plus members. Best Buy discounts their Apple products and you have a 60 day return and price match. And depending on your local Best Buy there may be an Apple badged employee in the store.'
on HSBC: Apple on Thursday expected to report largest revenue pop since 2022 - 'We are flying to Copenhagen in early March. I will be curious to see any in the wild there.'
on Premarket: Apple is green - '@Robert: That was a very nice close today. Especially considering that Apple is now the Avis of customers for chips since they were supplanted by Nvidia in the pole position at their common chip supplier; TSMC. Link is provided below. Also, if you’re still a Patriots fan, congrats on their win in the AFC Championship Game yesterday and now onto the Super Bowl. https://stocks.apple.com/AeyS7vNe4T2WKQqgYYfKdag'
on Premarket: Apple is green - 'At the closing bell: Apple up $7.37 on the day or 2.97% to $255.41. Today’s jump in price added $100 billion to the company’s market cap which now stands at $3.75 trillion.'
on Apple's new AirTags are louder, with better range - 'Philip, if you’re just out of the return window I bet the store manager will do an exception and let you do a return and get the new ones. This situation is a little different because they just released a new version. Worth a shot if you’re close to a store.'
on Apple's new AirTags are louder, with better range - 'Which brand/SKU do you use? Have you discerned any less battery life in an AirTag over a disposable CR2032? Thanks!'
on What did Apple CEO Tim Cook do after Alex Pretti was killed? - 'I always get a great visual when you say that – all of us on a school bus you’re driving and you turning around and yell at us kids to knock it off!'
on Apple: Morgan Stanley sticks with its Overweight rating and $315 price target - 'Of all the analysts you post he’s one I trust the most – good and bad – he does his homework.'
on Premarket: Apple is green - 'Well said Rodney. Unfortunately Cook must keep lines of communication open until the storm passes.'
on Apple's new AirTags are louder, with better range - 'I use rechargeable CR2032 batteries in my AirTags. I find that works well.'
on Premarket: Apple is green - 'Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, is not just a common saying that people like to quote, but a reality. Whether it’s a married couple or two country leaders fighting, when they stop communicating is when the potential of real conflict starts. Of course communication is no guarantee that peace will occur, but there is no chance of peace without it.'
on Apple's new AirTags are louder, with better range - 'I have been switching to Elevation Labs AirTag 5-Year Battery elevationlabdotcom'
on Apple's new AirTags are louder, with better range - 'UA used our AirTags (using the Share AirTag functionality) to keep track of our luggage left behind in Graz, Austria last month. We saw it travel from there to Munich to Frankfurt to Chicago & Albany? then to Austin. One arrived before us same day, the other a day later. And boy, we skipped Baggage Claim & breezed thru Customs because we’re Global Entry with no checked-in luggage with us. Happy ending!'
on Apple's new AirTags are louder, with better range - 'It’d be nice if we could recharge these on an Apple Watch charger, for example, albeit I can understand the friction introduced by recharging. Perhaps Apple could recommend some rechargeable 2032’s or encourage a company like Panasonic to make a rechargeable with optimized specs (if even feasible with size constraints) so I don’t feel bad about “recycling” a batch of CR2032’s every year.'

Microsoft is up 1.64% at $473.61 and IBM is in the green 1.24% at $296.07.'
on Apple's new AirTags are louder, with better range - 'My take: Kicking myself for buying a four-pack of the old AirTags for the same price just over two-weeks ago, so they can’t be swapped for the new ones. Before I buy any Apple products, I always check MacRumors on their buying guide, as to when to expect newer versions to be released, no not to be caught off guard.'
on What did Apple CEO Tim Cook do after Alex Pretti was killed? - 'PED, may I suggest you start a daily Trump thread- you can call it the Daily Donald Dump, or maybe the Trash Trump Today, or better yet, the Daily Donald Disaster (since he usually says or does something daily that can be commented on. And if anyone complains that it is not Apple centric enough, just explain to them that anything the president does or says affects the economy, which also affects Apple. It may even be therapeutic to some. The best benefit may be allowing the other threads to maybe be a little less political. It could be a thread that comments with no Apple angle is welcome.'
on What did Apple CEO Tim Cook do after Alex Pretti was killed? - 'According to the Washington Post, there are photos of Tim Cook at the Melania screening. The Daily Beast claims to have one. https://www.thedailybeast.com/billionaire-tim-cook-busted-partying-with-melania-and-accused-sex-pest/'
