Do android phones allow a floppy disk option? If they don't I'm pissed.

If they say everyone has thumbs that best work with a 4 inch screen, that's the only choice they'll give you. Must be so grating to people who don't have thumbs :) Back to reality, obviously, Apple is missing out on a large portion of the market who prefer larger screens. There's obviously plenty of room for growth when Apple can enter that segment. In the meantime, Apple is not going to panic and cut prices on the current iPhone. There are still a growing pool of buyers for the current product at the current price. Additionally, Apple is having their cake and eating it too... Apple has paid out $10B to App Store developers, $5B in the last year. That means they have an annual run rate of $2B for their own gross revenue (their 30% cut), or $4 per user, from apps alone. That in addition to the $300 they generate in hardware profits per user.

It is as if you are, taking the "what if'in" to the extreme." What would happen to Apple stock if: Docomo said no: China Mobile said no; India said no; No iwatch; No iTV; No other new product ever; Apple loses money; Apple's money or equivalent went to $0; China decided to take control over all of the factories; Apple's products became worthless; Apple's engineers became inept; Apple no longer patents ideas; Everybody quits their job at Apple; What would happen if the US government fails; Etc., etc., etc. What happens if China controls the USA? You happen to worst case scenario Apple all of the time. It is good to be cynical in life up to a point, but at what point do you stop being cynical? Kurt
