Recent news headlines almost make it sound like Apple is near a financial collapse. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/apple-earnings-where-does-apple-go-from-here-2019-01-25 (https://www.marketwatch.com/story/apple-earnings-where-does-apple-go-from-here-2019-01-25). It is NOT.
With 250 Billion in cash (along with other assets)….. I think we can still plan on stopping in at the Apple store on the next trip to the mall.
The problem.... if it really is a problem.… is Apple computers, iphones, TV (streaming devices) and such are now considered "mature" technologies. Imagine that! I still remember seeing the [Apple] 1984 super bowl commercial (https://youtu.be/2zfqw8nhUwA) (and thinking ….. what?). Now investment experts place Apple technologies in the same group as makers of bicycles, coffee machines, and sewing needles by calling Apple tech "mature". A mature technology that only two years ago added the "Home App" to the [then newest] OS update.
Our once high tech hobby (I prefer the word lifestyle over hobby)…. is now a mature technology? Apparently the experts seem to look at where the tech is today.... and yawn. I wonder..... what comes NEXT?
