".... We all knew their sales would be down this year."

You did? I know I did based on no 5G, based on emergence of Chinese phones, based on price / performance, based on lack of innovation...... but I feel that fanboys/wokeboys dismissed this reasoning based growth in services and that emerging tch and trends were not developed enough for AAPL to jump in...

Downward trend started when AAPL was years late with a big screen phone. Sure, a bump when they finally released one.. but the writing was on the wall and the Chinese called out AAPL as soft.

In 2 years AAPL will drop from 45% wearable narketshare in wearables to 10%

I guess now, they are cedeing streaming as a "loss leader"...

There will be a short lived 5G super cycle, but aapl is late to foldable phones, cloud, AI, quantum, global networks, space etc. etc.... thats where the big boys will be.
