Bill Fouche on Mark Gurman: Look how I took Apple down a peg today - 'Exactly, Roger. “In the spring of last year, Apple delayed the rollout, saying the new Siri would instead arrive in 2026. It never announced more specific timing.” We should not dignify Gurman’s effort to make his own earlier poor and thinly sourced prediction look like its Apple’s problem. It’s Gurman who bungled this. Apple’s got 10 full months left to deliver on its promise.'
on Mark Gurman: Look how I took Apple down a peg today - 'From Bloomberg: “Apple Inc.’s long-planned upgrade to the Siri virtual assistant has run into snags during testing in recent weeks, potentially pushing back the release of several highly anticipated functions.” **Many people on this blog are wealthy because they understand the true meaning of the word,potentially, when it’s used in news about Apple from unreliable sources.'
on Mark Gurman: Look how I took Apple down a peg today - 'All of this on the day that Apple was going up while its cohorts were moving in the opposite direction. The timing is impeccable at the very least. Something about dice and god comes to mind. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯'
on Evercore is sticking with its $330 Apple target, despite report of Siri snags - 'Apple hasn’t announced squat. So this is all FUD.'
on Evercore is sticking with its $330 Apple target, despite report of Siri snags - '“…I’ll be damned if Mark Gurman is going to influence my decision…” The yo-yo is a perennial fact of AAPL. So is investors kicking themselves for unloading their AAPL too soon….'
on Evercore is sticking with its $330 Apple target, despite report of Siri snags - '“My take: I wouldn’t have been as forgiving.” While true for most of us, Apple didn’t ask for our permission. Apple is still relying on (not asking us) user and investor trust in their processes for developing Siri 2.0, at least to Apple’s requirements and privacy expectations. IMO, this does not happen on any kind of regular schedule or hews to a particular set of deadlines. Just compare this to delivery and deployment of AI systems that hallucinate, get stuff wrong even though they’ve been trained on supposedly accurate (yeah, right) data, and has that been vetted and reviewed by humans who still remain able to discern bullshit? Its going to ship when it ships, and I’ll be damned if Mark Gurman is going to influence my decision to stay associated or invested in Apple.'
on Evercore is sticking with its $330 Apple target, despite report of Siri snags - 'My corporate attorney was fond of saying: “If I had eggs, I could have ham and eggs, if I had ham”. These reports sound like that kind of conviction.'
on Mark Gurman: Look how I took Apple down a peg today - 'will the reporting media take Bloomberg and Gurman down a peg? Nah. No accountability in today’s media, and particularly not for ANALyst reports. The attention span there is about 3 weeks…'
on Mark Gurman: Look how I took Apple down a peg today - 'And if Apple works through the problems and releases updates as originally planned, will the reporting media take Bloomberg and Gurman down a peg? Will Gurman lose credibility in PED’s eyes when Gurman is wrong again? The reader should note that Bloomberg still has not retracted the false story ‘Big Hack’ from 2018'
on Evercore is sticking with its $330 Apple target, despite report of Siri snags - 'My take: I wouldn’t have been as forgiving.” I too had my hopes built up. But I guess the lesson is- don’t built your hopes on rumors.'
