Nothing to be grinning about. AAPL is still below the level Icahn's tweet boosted AAPL, which is about $505.00.
if Apple doesn't learn how to make things better and cheaper, then they can't compete. They even try to water down the new version of the iPhone, then they will be ended up like Blackberry and Nokia. Tim Cook is a technocrat, he doesn't have the drive and commitment to take Apple to the next level.
iPhone 5c/s sales much better than expected + 37% margin maintained, iradio success 11mil used, 2x iPad coming before holiday shopping, china mobile 2014 q1, watch coming 2014, tv in the pipes, 2014 iphone will have large screen which is THE factor turning majority to android. I disagree with apple's strategy to keep 5c at such high price point to maintain margin, it's a bit short sighted as the mid segment is growing rapidly better to sac margin and lock those people into the ecosystem, as they will be buying apple forever and lead to sales in other apple lines. $399 should be the price for the 5c but overall I holding this until at least end of 2014
