I dream that open source will rule in this world, Apple can be a nice small niche brand.

The time to buy Apple stocks is nigh, there won't be another multi-gate and the new 2-device system will give shareholder some extra trust. Just wait for the Galaxy SIV to get announced and push Apple stocks even lower, then BUY - that's the smartest Apple 'product' money can buy.

They're going to release the iPhone 5S, iPad Mini 2, and iPad 5 in March all with the same design as the previous gen. They're really becoming very predictable as of late.

That's because they live in their comfort zone. Apple needs to get out of that comfort zone and start doing new things, end the endless minor update iterations.

Finally, the logic has risen and the stupidity has fallen!!

Logical = things you like?
Stupidity = things you don't like?
... That seems illogical.

Well let's say you're shopping for a smartphone at AT&T. One X+ is $199 and the iPhone 5 is $199. Which one should you choose? 64GB vs 16GB? It really isn't that hard to see the bigger bang for the buck.

Good analogy, I suppose it's also like shopping for cars. A Toyota Prius costs $24,200 and Chevy Silverado costs $23,590. Silverado is twice the size of the Prius, so it really isn't that hard to see the bigger bang for the buck.
Good consumers don't consider more than 1 factor in making a purchase?
... That also seems illogical.

Um... I don't see the link between cars and smartphones...
Seems pretty illogical to me...

He saying that people dont buy things over one feature. They will buy things they like better. For whatever reason it is.
For gods sake.

Finally the people on this world are coming to their senses. The iPhone is hype. A 'smart'phone, you say? It doesn't even belong in the Smartphone category. It's an advanced basic phone. Overpriced and performs half the functions of any Android device. I sell cellphones for a living, and so many people ask for the iPhone (only because of the commercials), but once I show them what the functionality and benefits of an Android, I become a hero and save another soul. Get onboard or you're gonna be left behind to drown.

The iphone 5 sales rush is long gone everywhere in the world outside of the US. I've said it already its being outsold by its galaxy s3 rival 3:1 and by other top androids as a whole by a fair bit. Demand is gone and i see them selling at a generally slow pace. The world has awoken

I was a big apple fan, I waited to see what they did with the iphone5, was disappointed, so went to GS3, I. Have just ROOTED, I feel like Neo from the matrix now, I've gone down the rabbit hole, will. Never got back to iphone, I feel the iphone was an evolutionary step for me to what is ultimately the best OS in Android

We will just wait for those Windows people who falsely claim there isnt problems with their OS and its perfection.

LMFAO, they deserve every single dollar they've lost. Looks like their strategy of "let's crank out the same tired underpowered novelties and just sue sue SUE everyone!" is not working out for them.

Well, maybe if Apple lowered the price of unlocked devices, things would move a little easier. Paying $649 is just pure insanity, for a phone. Honestly, a phone shouldnt cost more than $300, not the same as a notebook.

I'll be the first to jump up and slam the disgusting corp known as apple, but you're out of line. The unlocked/unactivated price of an iphone 5 is right in line with every other high end device. $799 for a note 2, $699 GS3 etc.
This will be hard to grasp, but high end tech is expensive. I would not want a phone made by anyone with a $300 unactivated price. Hell, most feature phones are $300 unsubsidised.

Those beloved shares are bound to keep decreasing in value as all the teens are realizing that apple products are no longer cool anymore.
